The way to misuse our possessions is to use them as an insurance against the morrow. Anxiety is always directed to the morrow, whereas goods are in the strictest sense meant to be used only for to-day.

No sacrifice which a lover would make for his beloved is too great for us to make for our enemy.

Christian love draws no distinction between one enemy and another, except that the more bitter our enemy's hatred, the greater his need of love. Be his enmity political or religious, he has nothing to expect from a follower of Jesus but unqualified love. In such love there is not inner discord between the private person and official capacity. In both we are disciples of Christ, or we are not Christians at all.

We pray for the big things and forget to give thanks for the ordinary, small (and yet really not small) gifts.

Christianity means community through Jesus Christ and in Jesus Christ. No Christian community is more or less than this.

There is no way to peace along the way to safety. For peace must be dared. It is the great venture.

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