If man is man and God is God, to live without prayer is not merely an awful thing: it is an infinitely foolish thing.

We do not want to lose our grief, because our grief is bound up with our love and we could not cease to mourn without being robbed of our affections.

The man, who has begun to live more seriously within, begins to live more simply without.

Be such a man, and live such a life, that if every man were such as you, and every life a life like yours, this earth would be God's Paradise.

O, do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men! Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks! Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle. But you shall be a miracle. Every day you shall wonder at yourself, at the richness of life which has come to you by the grace of God.

Heaven does not make holiness, but holiness makes heaven.

Jesus Christ, the condescension of divinity, and the exaltation of humanity.
