God is not an optional extra, He's an absolute must!

The present is the only time in which any duty may be done or grace received.

Do not by any means destroy yourself, for if you live you may yet have good fortune, but all the dead are dead like.

There is a kind of happiness and wonder that makes you serious. It is too good to waste on jokes.

If the parents in each generation always or often knew what really goes on at their sons' schools, the history of education would be very different.

God has not been trying an experiment on my faith or love in order to find out their quality. He knew it already. It was I who didn't. In this trial He makes us occupy the dock, the witness box, and the bench all at once. He always knew that my temple was a house of cards. His only way of making me realize the fact was to knock it down.

I don't want him to live forever, and I know that he's not going to live forever whether I want him to or not.
