Fear is the absence of faith.

Knowledge of that which concerns us infinitely is possible only in an attitude of infinite concern.

Nothing truly real is forgotten eternally, because everything real comes from eternity and goes to eternity.

I loved thee beautiful and kind, And plighted an eternal vow; So altered are thy face and mind, t'were perjury to love thee now!

Man is able to decide for or against reason, he is able to create beyond reason or to destroy below reason

Forgiving presupposes remembering. And it creates a forgetting not in the natural way we forget yesterday's weather, but in the way of the great "in spite of" that says: I forget although I remember. Without this kind of forgetting no human relationship can endure healthily. I don't refer to a solemn act of asking for and offering forgiveness. Such rituals as sometimes occur between parents and children, or friends, or man and wife, are often acts of moral arrogance on the one part and enforced humiliation on the other. But I speak of the lasting willingness to accept him who has hurt us.

Wisdom loves the children of men, but she prefers those who come through foolishness to wisdom.
