True prayer is asking God what He wants.

The tragedy of life and of the world is not that men do not know God; the tragedy is that, knowing Him, they still insist on going their own way.

The word grace emphasizes at one and the same time the helpless poverty of man and the limitless kindness of God.

There is only one way to bring peace to the heart, joy to the mind, and beauty to the life; it is to accept and do the will of God.

When we accept Christ we enter into three new relationships: (1) We enter into a new relationship with God. The judge becomes the father; the distant becomes the near; strangeness becomes intimacy and fear becomes love. (2) We enter into a new relationship with our fellow men. Hatred becomes love; selfishness becomes service; and bitterness becomes forgiveness. (3) We enter into a new relationship with ourselves. Weakness becomes strength; frustration becomes achievement; and tension becomes peace.

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

Prayer is not a way of making use of God; prayer is a way of offering ourselves to God in order that He should be able to make use of us.
