We are...a Divine work of art, something that God is making...something with which He will not be satisfied until it has a certain character.

And He [God] and you are two things of such a kind that if you really get into any kind of touch with Him you will, in fact, be humble--delightedly humble, feeling the infinite relief of having for once got rid of all the silly nonsense about your own dignity which has made you restless and unhappy all your life.

Those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

You and I have need of the strongest spell that can be found to wake us from the evil enchantment of worldliness.
