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

Anything big enough to occupy our minds is big enough to hang a prayer on.

I tell you, there are more worlds, and more doors to them, than you will think of in many years!

A fairytale is not an allegory. There may be allegory in it, but it is not an allegory.

What God may hereafter require of you, you must not give yourself the least trouble about. Everything He gives you to do, you must do as well as ever you can, and that is the best possible preparation for what He may want you to do next. If people would but do what they have to do, they would always find themselves ready for what came next.

A perfect faith would lift us absolutely above fear
