The idea which...shuts out the Second Coming from our minds, the idea of the world slowly ripening to perfection, is a myth, not a generalization from experience.

Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done.

100 per cent of us die, and the percentage cannot be increased.

The longest way round is the shortest way home

The harder you tried not to think, the more you thought.

You find out more about God from the Moral Law than from the univerise in general just as you find out more about a man by listening to his conversation than by looking at a house he has built.

Never, never pin your whole faith on any human being: not if he is the best and wisest in the whole world. There are lots of nice things you can do with sand; but do not try building a house on it.
