The Christian man must aim at that complete obedience to God in which life finds its highest happiness, its greatest good, its perfect consummation, its peace.

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

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

We reverence God and we hallow God's name when our life is such that it brings honor to God and attracts others to Him.

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.

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.
