“This moment contains all moments.” "I gave in, and admitted that God was God." "If there is equality it is in His love, not in us." "Miracles do not, in fact, break the laws of nature." "An explanation of cause is not a justification by reason." "You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body." "What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step." "You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." "Nothing that you have not given away will ever be really yours." "It's so much easier to pray for a bore than to go and see one." “Though our feelings come and go, God’s love for us does not.” "Until you have given up your self to Him you will not have a real self..." “Every one says forgiveness is a lovely idea, until they have something to forgive.” "Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither." "Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil." "Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn." “When we lose one blessing, another is often most unexpectedly given in its place” "The real problem is not why some pious, humble, believing people suffer, but why some do not." "The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is." “God, who foresaw your tribulation, has specially armed you to go through it, not without pain but without stain” “The very man who has argued you down, will sometimes be found, years later, to have been influenced by what you said” “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.” "Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable." "Christianity, if false, is of no importance,
and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately
important."
"Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite." “Talk to me about the truth of religion and I'll listen gladly. Talk to me about the duty of religion and I'll listen submissively. But don't come talking to me about the consolations of religion or I shall suspect that you don't understand.” “If you read history you will find that
the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those
who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased
to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.”
