Communities are made up of the unlovable as well as the lovable.

It is only through religion that communism can be achieved, and has been achieved over and over.

We should live in such a way that our lives wouldn't make much sense if the gospel were not true.

Thank God that He has permitted us to live among the present problems. It is no longer permitted to anyone to be mediocre.

When it comes down to it, even on the natural plane, it is much happier and more enlivening to love than to be loved.

Recording happiness made it last longer, we felt, and recording sorrow dramatized it and took away its bitterness; and often we settled some problem which beset us even while we wrote about it.

The final word is love.
