If Christianity is only one more bit of good advice, then Christianity is of no importance.

Chastity is the most unpopular of the Christian virtues. There is no getting away from it; the old Christian rule is, "Either marriage, with completely faithfulness to your partner, or else total abstinence."

The prayer preceding all prayers is 'May it be the real I who speaks. May it be the real Thou that I speak to.'

The true reader reads every work seriously in the sense that he reads it whole-heartedly, makes himself as receptive as he can. But for that very reason he cannot possibly read every work solemly or gravely. For he will read 'in the same spirit that the author writ.'... He will never commit the error of trying to munch whipped cream as if it were venison.

You have not chosen one another, but I have chosen you for one another.

It is in the process of being worshipped that God communicates His presence to men.

For jokes as well as justice come in with speech.
