Ambition! We must be careful what we mean by it. If it means the desire to get ahead of other people - which is what I think it does mean - then it is bad. If it means simply wanting to do a thing well, then it is good. It isn't wrong for an actor to want to act his part as well as it can possibly be acted, but the wish to have his name in bigger type than the other actors is a bad one.

I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare.

This world is a great sculptor's shop. We are the statues and there is a rumor going round the shop that some of us are some day going to come to life.

To play well the scenes in which we are 'on' concerns us much more than to guess about the scenes that follow it.

The Christian has a great advantage over other men, not by being less fallen than they, nor less doomed to live in a fallen world, but by knowing that he is a fallen man in a fallen world.

If we only have the will to walk, then God is pleased with our stumbles.

Human intellect is incurably abstract.
