The power we call God defies description.

It is better to allow our lives to speak for us than our words. God did not bear the cross only two thousand years ago. He bears it today, and he dies and is resurrected from day to day. It would be a poor comfort to the world if it had to depend on a historical God who died two thousand years ago. Do not, then, preach the God of history, but show him as he lives today through you.

If you have no character to lose, people will have no faith in you.

If as a member of a slave nation I could deliver the suppressed classes from their slavery without freeing myself from my own, I would do so today. But it is an impossible task.

Human nature will find itself only when it fully realizes that to be human it has to cease to be beastly or brutal.

Great causes cannot be served by intellectual equipment alone, they call for spiritual effort of soul-force.

To bear all kinds of tortures without a murmur of resentment is not possible for a human being without the strength that comes from God.
