The fact remains that we are invited to forget ourselves on purpose, cast our awful solemnity to the wind, and join in the general Dance.

God has left sin in the world in order that there may be forgiveness: not only the secret forgiveness by which He Himself cleanses our souls, but the manifest forgiveness by which we have mercy on one another and so give expression to the fact that He is living, by His mercy, in our own hearts.

...love triumphs, at least in this life, not by eliminating evil once for all, but by resisting and overcoming it anew every day.

No one is so wrong as the man who knows all the answers.

Either you look at the universe as a very poor creation out of which no one can make anything, or you look at your own life and your own part in the universe as infinitely rich, full of inexhaustible interest, opening out into the infinite further responsibilities for study and contemplation and interest and praise. Beyond all and in all is God.

How do you expect to arrive at the end of your own journey if you take the road to another man's city?

The great thing, and the only thing, is to adore and praise GOD.
