Parents are the last people on earth who ought to have children.

Fear is static that prevents me from hearing myself.

To know God better is only to realize how impossible it is that we should ever know him at all. I know not which is more childish to deny him, or define him.

I do not mind lying, but I hate inaccuracy.

If God wants us to do a thing, he should make his wishes sufficiently clear. Sensible people will wait till he has done this before paying much attention to him.

Christ: I dislike him very much. Still, I can stand him. What I cannot stand is the wretched band of people whose profession is to hoodwink us about him.

It is not he who gains the exact point in dispute who scores most in controversy - but he who has shown the better temper.
