God whispers in our pleasures, but shouts in our pain.

We must beware of the Past, mustn't we? I mean that any fixing of the mind on old evils beyond what is absolutely necessary for repenting our own sins and forgiving those of others is certainly useless and usually bad for us. Notice in Dante that the lost souls are entirely concerned with their past! Not so the saved.

We read to know we are not alone.

Everyone feels benevolent if nothing happens to be annoying him at the moment.

In God there is no hunger that needs to be filled, only plenteousness that desires to give.

Many things have gone wrong with the world that God made and... God insists, and insists very loudly, on our putting them right again

You can begin as if nothing had ever gone wrong. White as snow.
