If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself.

The Gods occupy the loftiest regions, men the lowest, the demons the middle region...They have immortality of body, but passions of the mind in common with men.

Such is the strength of the burden of habit. Here I have the power to be but do not wish it. There I wish to be but lacks the power. On both grounds, I'm in misery.

It is not often that we use language correctly; usually we use it incorrectly, though we understand each others meaning.

Thou hast created us for Thyself, and our heart is not quiet until it rests in Thee.

Take care of your body as if you were going to live forever; and take care of your soul as if you were going to die tomorrow.

Although God is all powerful, He is unable to give more; though supremely wise, He knows not how to give more; though vastly rich, He has not more to give.
