As brother stands by brother in distress, binding up his wounds and soothing his pain, so let us show our love towards our enemy. There is no deeper distress to be found in the world, no pain more bitter than our enemy's. Nowhere is service more necessary or more blessed than when we serve our enemies.

Still more pathetic is the total collapse of moral fanaticism. Fanatics think that their single-minded principles qualify them to do battle with the powers of evil; but like a bull they rush at the red cloak instead of the person who is holding it; he exhausts himself and is beaten. He gets entangled in non-essentials and falls into the trap set by cleverer people.

It is not your love that sustains the marriage, but from now on, the marriage that sustains your love.

Cheap grace is grace without discipleship.

Any honours that come our way are only stolen from him to whom alone they really belong, the Lord who sent us.

I need the Christ that is in you, and you need the Christ that is in me.

Only he who gives thanks for the little things receives the big things.
