Let him who cannot be alone beware of community. Let him who is not in community beware of being alone.

Then fear will grow pale and fade away, and you will be free, through your faith in our strong and living Savior, Jesus Christ.

Wherever there are sinners, the weak, the sorrowful, the poor in the world, that is where God goes.

A pastor who does not pray daily for his congregation is not a pastor.

Telling the truth ... is not solely a matter of moral character; it is also a matter of correct appreciation of real situations and of serious reflection upon them.

Principles are only tools in the hands of God; they will soon be thrown away when they are no longer useful.

We are separated from one another by an unbridgeable gulf of otherness and strangeness which resists all our attempts to overcome it by means of natural association or emotional or spiritual union. There is no way from one person to another. However loving and sympathetic we try to be, however sound our psychology however frank and open our behaviour we cannot penetrate the incognito of the other man, for there are no direct relationships, not even between soul and soul. Christ stands between us, and we can only get into touch with our neighbors through Him.
