Only God may be adored, because only God is unlimited goodness, truth, and beauty, and thus only God deserves unlimited love.

It is mercy, not justice or courage or even heroism, that alone can defeat evil.

Without that freedom to sin there is also no freedom to love.

We cannot hate truth in general, all truth, as we cannot hate food in general, all food. But we can hate a particular truth even though it is good for us, as we can hate a particular food even though it is good for us.

You see, God just will not let us flunk out of His school of love. He insists on remedial lessons until we get it right. For this whole world is a school set up by Love Himself to teach us to love.

Humility is not an exaggeratedly low opinion of yourself. Humility is self-forgetfulness.

On my door is a cartoon of two turtles. One says, 'Sometimes I would like to ask why he allows poverty, famine and injustice when he could do something about it.' The other turtle says 'I am afraid that God might ask me the same question.'
