Happiness in reality consists only in rest, and not in being stirred up. This instinct conflicts with the drive to diversion, and we develop the confused idea that leads people to aim at rest through excitement.

The humility that cringes in order that reproof may be escaped or favor obtained is as unchristian as it is profoundly immoral.

If we reject the Christian answer, we still have the problem. We're going to adopt some alternative, because the questions will not go away, the questions of, "What kind of person am I becoming?" and "What is my role in that?" and so on.

Discipleship is the process of becoming who Jesus would be if he were you.

I would say the soul would be more than the engine. The soul would be like the computer system that coordinates everything, from the smog device to the fuel injection system to the brakes.

You really can't justify anything else but giving your whole attention to spiritual formation in Christ.

You can live opposite of what you profess, but you cannot live opposite of what you believe.
