Endurance is not just the ability to bear a hard thing, but to turn it into glory.

If a man fights his way through his doubts to the conviction that Jesus Christ is Lord, he has attained to a certainty that the man who unthinkingly accepts things can never reach.

The best way to prepare for the coming of Christ is never to forget the presence of Christ.

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 only victory love can enjoy is the day when its offer of love is answered by the return of love. The only possible final triumph is a universe loved by God and in love with God.

The terrible importance of this life is that it determines eternity.

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.
