When we understand the outside of things, we think we have them. Yet the Lord puts his things in subdefined, suggestive shapes, yielding no satisfactory meaning to the mere intellect, but unfolding themselves to the conscience and heart.

To be humbly ashamed is to be plunged in the cleansing bath of truth.

To have what we want is riches; but to be able to do without is power.

If both Church and fairy-tale belong to humanity, they may occasionally cross circles, without injury to either.

Faith is obedience, not compliance.

To be kind neither hurts nor compromises.

We are dwellers in a divine universe where no desires are in vain - if only they be large enough.
