When we love anyone with our whole hearts, life begins when we are with that person; it is only in their company that we are really and truly alive.

The danger of prosperity is that it encourages a false independence.

A man can be so busy making a living that he forgets to make a life.

We will often find compensation if we think more of what life has given us and less about what life has taken away.

It may well be a sign of the decadence of the Church and the failure of Christianity that gifts have to be coaxed out of people, and that often they will not give at all unless they get something for their money in the way of entertainment or of goods. Giving which is real giving has a certain recklessness in it.

Christianity does not think of man finally submitting to the power of God, it thinks of Him as finally surrendering to the love of God. It is not that man's will is crushed, but that man's heart is broken.

The essential fact of Christianity is that God thought all men worth the sacrifice of his son.
