Only what is essential must be said.

The world upon whom grace is thrust as a bargain will grow tired of it.

Man has learned to cope with all questions of importance without recourse to God as a working hypothesis.

Oh, give our frightened souls the sure salvation for which, O Lord, You taught us to prepare. And when this cup You give is filled to brimming with bitter suffering, hard to understand, we take it thankfully and without trembling, out of so good and so beloved a hand. Yet when again in this same world You give us the joy we had, the brightness of Your Sun, we shall remember all the days we lived through, and our whole life shall then be Yours alone.

To deny oneself is to be aware only of Christ and no more of self, to see only Him who goes before and no more the road which is too hard for us. Once more, all that self-denial can say is, 'He leads the way, keep close to Him.'

Our community with one another consists solely in what Christ has done to each of us.

Costly grace is the gospel which must be sought again and again, the gift which must be asked for, the door at which a man must knock.
