What draws people to be friends is that they see the same truth. They share it.

The true Christian's nostril is to be continually attentive to the inner cesspool.

A great many people (not you) do now seem to think that the mere state of being worried is in itself meritorious. I don’t think it is. We must, if it so happens, give our lives for others: but even while we’re doing it, I think we’re meant to enjoy Our Lord and, in Him, our friends, our food, our sleep, our jokes, and the birds’ song and the frosty sunrise.

We are not meant to be perpetually solemn: We must play.

Whatever he says, let his inner resolution be not to bear whatever comes to him, but to bear it 'for a reasonable period'--and let the reasonable period be shorter than the trial is likely to last. It need not be much shorter; in attacks on patience, chastity, and fortitude, the fun is to make the man yield just when (had he but known it) relief was almost in sight.

The cross comes before the crown and tomorrow is a Monday morning!

If you are a Christian, you are free to think that all these religions, even the queerest ones, contain at least some hint of the truth.
