Friendship is the instrument by which God reveals to each of us the beauties of others.

But courage, child: we are all between the paws of the true Aslan.

Friendship is born at that moment when one man says to another: "What! You too? I thought that no one but myself . . ."

Nobody who gets enough food and clothing in a world where most are hungry and cold has any business to talk about 'misery.'

If God is Love, He is, by definition, something more than mere kindness. And it appears, from all the records, that though He has often rebuked us and condemned us, He has never regarded us with contempt. He has paid us the intolerable compliment of loving us, in the deepest, most tragic, most inexorable sense.

You would not call a man humane for ceasing to set mousetraps if he did so because he believed there were no mice in the house.

The Future is, of all things, the thing least like eternity. It is the most temporal part of time--for the Past is frozen and no longer flows, and the Present is all lit up with eternal rays.
