Pride is the ground in which all the other sins grow, and the parent from which all the other sins come.

The Christian is called upon to be the partner of God in the work of the conversion of men.

Instead of our petulant, fretful, irritable human hastiness we should cultivate in our souls the patience which has learned to wait on God.

God does not choose a person for ease and comfort and selfish joy but for a task that will take all that head and heart and hand can bring to it. God chooses a man in order to use him.

A man may well be condemned, not for doing something, but for doing nothing.

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.

Certainly Christianity is an experience, but equally clearly the validity of ane experience has to be tested. There are people in lunatic asylums who have the experience of being the Emperor Napoleon or a poached egg. It is unquestionably an experience, and to them a real experience, but for all that it has no kind of universal validity. It is necessary to go far beyond simply saying that something comes from experience. Before any such thing can be evaluated at all, the source and character of the experience must clearly be investigated.
