Sin is a clenched fist and a blow in the face of God.

When science advances religion goes along with it; science builds the altar at which religion prays.

When children ask you questions about gray hairs, and wrinkles in the face, and sighs that have no words, and smiles too bright to be carved upon the radiant face by the hands of hypocrisy--when they ask you about kneeling at the altar, speaking into the vacant air, and uttering words to an unseen and in an invisible Presence--when they interrogate you about your great psalms, and hymns, and anthem-bursts of thankfulness, what is your reply to these? Do not be ashamed of the history. Keep steadily along the line of fact. Say what happened to you, and magnify God in the hearing of the inquirer.

Giving up on life is easier than going through the hard times to find the good.

The truly religious man does everything as if everything depends on himself, and then leaves everything as if everything depended on God.

Sin is a clenched fist and a blow in the face of God.

Speak to the suffering, and you will never lack an audience. There is a broken heart in every crowd.
