Do not waste time bothering whether you "love" your neighbor; act as if you did.

Spiteful words can hurt your feelings but silence breaks your heart.

Don't worry. If you really want to, you will Whether you'll like it when you do is another question.

The humans live in time but our Enemy (God) destines them for eternity.

We are not living in a world where all roads are radii if a circle and where all, if followed long enough, will therefore draw gradually nearer and finally meet at the centre: rather in a world where every road, after a few miles, forks into two, and each of those into two again, and at each fork you must make a decision.

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

And yet all loneliness, angers, hatreds, envies, and itchings that it contains, if rolled into one single experience and put into the scale against the least moment of the joy that is felt by the least in Heaven, would have no weight that could be registered at all. Bad cannot succeed even in being bad as truly as good is good.
