If you are a Christian, you are free to think that all these religions, even the queerest ones, contain at least some hint of the truth.

Some people talk as if meeting the gaze of absolute goodness would be fun. They need to think again.

Think of me as a fellow patient in the same hospital who, having been admitted a little earlier could give some advice.

The purpose of all opprobrious language is, not to describe, but to hurt - even when, like Hamlet, we make only the shadow-passes of a soliloquised combat. We call the enemy not what we think he is but what we think he would least like to be called.

If and when a horror turns up you will then be given Grace to help you. I don't think one is usually given it in advance. "Give us our daily bread" (not an annuity for life) applies to spiritual gifts too; the little daily support for the daily trial. Life has to be taken day by day and hour by hour.

You'll never make a good impression on other people until you stop thinking what sort of impression you make.

Christianity thinks of human individuals not as mere members of a group or items in a list, but as organs in a body-different from one another and each contributing what no other could.

We know nothing of religion here: we only think of Christ.

If you do not take the distinction between good and bad very seriously, then it is easy to say that anything you find in this world is a part of God. But, of course, if you think some things really bad, and God really good, then you cannot talk like that. You must believe that God is separate from the world and that some of the things we see in it are contrary to His will.
