Those who would most scornfully repudiate Christianity as a mere "opiate of the people" have a contempt for the rich, that is, for all mankind except the poor.

and a charge of lying against someone whom you have always found truthful is a very serious thing; a very serious thing indeed.

Christ did not die for man because they were intrinsically worth dying for, but because he is intrinsically love, and therefore loves infinitely.

The choice of every lost soul can be expressed in the words "Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven." There is always something they insist on keeping, even at the price of misery.

When Christ died, He died for you individually just as much as if you had been the only person in the world.

We might think that God wanted simply obedience to a set of rules: whereas He really wants people of a particular sort.

The proper motto is not Be good, sweet maid, and let who can be clever, but Be good sweet maid, and don't forget that this involves being as clever as you can. God is no fonder of intellectual slackers than any other slackers.
