The great saint may be said to mix all his thoughts with thanks. All goods look better when they look like gifts.

When we look upon lives so human and yet so small, we feel as if we ourselves were enlarged to an embarrassing bigness of stature. We feel the same kind of obligation to these creatures that a deity might feel if he had created something that he could not understand.

Do not look at the faces in the illustrated papers. Look at the faces in the street.

The one created thing which we cannot look at is the one thing in the light of which we look at everything.
