I say again, if I cannot draw a horse, I will not write THIS IS A HORSE under what I foolishly meant for one.

The kingdom of heaven is not come even when God's will is our law; it is fully come when God's will is our will.

All that is not God is death.

It is to the man who is trying to live, to the man who is obedient to the word of the Master, that the word of the Master unfolds itself.

You doubt because you love truth.

How many people would like to be good, if only they might be good without taking trouble about it! They do not like goodness well enough to hunger and thirst after it, or to sell all that they have that they may buy it; they will not batter at the gate of the kingdom of heaven; but they look with pleasure on this or that aerial castle of righteousness, and think it would be rather nice to live in it.

We should teach our children to think no more of their bodies when dead than they do of their hair when cut off, or of their old clothes when they have done with them.
