You thought you were going to be made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it himself. (Quoted by C.S.Lewis in Mere Christianity)

There are things that must be done in faith, else they never have being.

You doubt because you love truth.

The ideal is the only absolute real; and it must become the real in the individual life as well, however impossible they may count it who never tried it.
