Tribulations cannot cease until God either sees us remade or sees that our remaking is now hopeless.

A real desire to believe all the good you can of others and to make others as comfortable as you can will solve most of the problems.

There have been times when I think we do not desire heaven but more often I find myself wondering whether, in our heart of hearts, we have ever desired anything else.

A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.

Has this world been so kind to you that you should leave with regret? There are better things ahead than any we leave behind.

We cannot fully understand the relations of time and choice until we are beyond both.

A man's physical hunger does not prove that man will get any bread; he may die of starvation on a raft in the Atlantic. But surely a man's hunger does prove that he comes of a race which repairs its body by eating and inhabits a world where eatable substances exist. In the same way, though I do not believe (I wish I did) that my desire for Paradise proves that I shall enjoy it, I think it a pretty good indication that such a thing exists and that some men will.
