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

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

"A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you."

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

"God gives His gifts where He finds the vessel empty enough to receive them."

"If you love deeply, you're going to get hurt badly. But it's still worth it."
