The loadstar of a saint is God Himself, not estimated usefulness. It is the work that God does through us that count, not what we do for him.

The more you fulfill yourself, the less you will seek God.

The one thing for which we are all being disciplined is to know that God is real. As soon as God becomes real, other people become shadows. Nothing that other saints do or say can ever perturb the one who is built on God.

God nowhere tells us to give up things for the sake of giving them up. He tells us to give them up for the sake of the only thing worth having - viz., life with Himself. It is a question of loosening the bonds that hinder the life.

The greatest test of a man's character is his tongue.

The measure of the worth of our public activity for God is the private profound communion we have with Him.

The deadliest Pharisaism today is not hypocrisy, but unconscious unreality.
