A righteous person is one who lives for the next generation.

Once again, Jesus calls those who follow him to share his passion.

Who can really be faithful in great things if he has not learned to be faithful in the things of daily life?

The best-informed man is not necessarily the wisest. Indeed there is a danger that precisely in the multiplicity of his knowledge he will lose sight of what is essential. But on the other hand, knowledge of an apparently trivial detail quite often makes it possible to see into the depth of things. And so the wise man will seek to acquire the best possible knowledge about events, but always without becoming dependent upon this knowledge. To recognize the significant in the factual is wisdom.

The life of discipleship is not the hero-worship we would pay to a good master, but obedience to the Son of God.

It is worse for a liar to tell the truth than for a lover of truth to lie.... There is a truth which is of Satan. Its essence is that under the semblance of truth it denies everything that is real. It lives upon hatred of the real world which is created and loved by God.

Not hero worship, but intimacy with Christ.
