"For pride is spiritual cancer: it eats up the very possibility of love, or contentment, or even common sense."

"You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me."

"A young man who wishes to remain a sound atheist cannot be too careful of his reading."

"Every Christian would agree that a man's spiritual health is exactly proportional to his love for God."

"Gratitude looks to the Past and love to the Present; fear, avarice, lust, and ambition look ahead."
