...here also forgiving does not mean excusing. Many people seem to think it does. They think that if you ask them to forgive someone who has cheated or bullied them you are trying to make out that there was really no cheating or bullying. But if that were so, there would be nothing to forgive. (This doesn't mean that you must necessarily believe his next promise. It does mean that you must make every effort to kill every taste of resentment in your own heart - every wish to humiliate or hurt him or to pay him out.)

Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.

The higher the stakes, the greater the temptation to lose your temper.

The only things we can keep are the things we freely give to God. What we try to keep for ourselves is just what we are sure to lose.

The old field of space, time, matter, and the senses is to be weeded, dug, and sown for a new crop. We may be tired of that old field: God is not.

No great wisdom can be reached without sacrifice.

There is no other day. All days are present now. This moment contains all moments.
