No man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to be good...Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is.

Remember that all worlds draw to an end and that noble death is a treasure which no one is too poor to buy.

Pain is G-d's megaphone to wake up the world.

The longest way round is the shortest way home. (Quoting Alexander MacLaren, The Wearied Christ and Other Sermons)

Oh Trees, Trees, Trees...wake. Don't you remember it? Don't you remember me? Dryads and hamadryads, come out, come [out] to me.

Virtue - even attempted virtue - brings light; indulgence brings fog.

God will look to every soul like its first love because He is its first love.
