As God adds his 'Yes' to your 'Yes,' as he confirms your will with his will, and as he allows you, and approves of, your triumph and rejoicing and pride, he makes you at the same time instruments of his will and purpose both for yourselves and for others. In his unfathomable condescension God does add his 'Yes' to yours; but by doing so, he creates out of your love something quite new - the holy estate of matrimony.

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.

There is no worse sin than unbelief toward the gospel.

If you do a good job for others, you heal yourself at the same time, because a dose of joy is a spiritual cure.

Time is lost when we have not lived a full human life, time unenriched by experience, creative endeavor, enjoyment, and suffering.

Possessions are not God's blessing and goodness, but the opportunities of service which he entrusts to us.

Where God tears great gaps we should not try to fill them with human words.
