This is a wise, sane Christian faith: that a man commit himself, his life, and his hopes to God; that God undertakes the special protection of that man; that therefore that man ought not to be afraid of anything.

The boy should enclose and keep, as his life, the old child at the heart of him, and never let it go. He must still, to be a right man, be his mother's darling, and more, his father's pride, and more. The child is not meant to die, but to be forever fresh born.

It is simply absurd to say you believe, or even want to believe, in Him, if you do not do anything He tells you.

To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved.

I find the doing of the will of God leaves me no time for disputing about his plans — I do not say for thinking about them.

By all means rid yourself of an impoverished faith.

But there is a light that goes deeper than the will, a light that lights up the darkness behind it: that light can change your will, can make it truly yours and not another's - not the Shadow's. Into the created can pour itself the creating will, and so redeem it!
