No books is more fascinating than the Bible. And no books are less fascinating than most of our commentaries on the Bible. Nothing is more formidable and unconquerable than the Church Militant. But nothing is more sleepy and sheepish than the Church Mumbling. Christ's words roused His enemies to murder and His friends to martyrdom. Our words reassure both sides and send them to sleep. He put the world in a daze. We put it in a doze.

Humility is not an exaggeratedly low opinion of yourself. Humility is self-forgetfulness.

If God is not a Trinity, God is not love. For love requires three things: a lover, a beloved, and a relationship between them.

You have to say no to something else, in order to make time to pray.

Lack of prayer is the cause of lack of time.

Peace is a mark of the Holy Spirit.

You cannot be in love with love.

Prayer is like Thanksgiving dinner. It takes one hour to eat it and ten hours to prepare it.
