To try to be brave is to be brave.

God is the God of the animals in a far lovelier way, I suspect, than many of us dare to think, but he will not be the God of a man by making a good beast of him.

There is no inborn longing that shall not be fulfilled. I think that is as certain as the forgiveness of sins.

What I would say is this, that the light is not blinding because God would hide, but because the truth is too glorious for our vision.

Few delights can equal the presence of one whom we trust utterly.

To give truth to him who loves it not is but to give him more plentiful material for misinterpretation.

One thing is clear to me, that no indulgence of passion destroys the spiritual nature so much as respectable selfishness.
