I will not glory, even in my orthodoxy, for even that can be a snare if I make a god of it... Let us rejoice in Him in all His fulness and in Him alone.

The Christian faith is ultimately not only a matter of doctrine or understanding or of intellect, it is a condition of the heart.

Always respond to every impulse to pray. The impulse to pray may come when you are reading or when you are battling with a text. I would make an absolute law of this: always obey such an impulse.

Faith is the refusal to panic.

The nearer a man gets to God, the greater he sees his sin.

Have you realized that most of your unhappiness in life is due to the fact that you are listening to yourself instead of talking to yourself?

If you look at your past and are depressed it means that you are listening to the devil.

There is nothing more foolish or self-defeating than for a Christian to say that he is not interested in doctrines.

The glory of the gospel is that when the church is absolutely different from the world, she invariably attracts it.

The ultimate test of our spirituality is the measure of our amazement at the grace of God.

Conviction is not repentance; conviction leads to repentance. But you can be convicted without repentance.

The bravest are the most tender

Real freedom for people can only exist whenever there is security and independence.

We cannot cure the evils of politics with politics.

We all appear as dunces when feigning an interest in things we care nothing about.

Time is strange. A moment can be as short as a breath, or as long as eternity.

Sometimes you move publicly, sometimes privately. Sometimes quietly, sometimes at the top of your voice. And sometimes an active policy is best advanced by doing nothing until the right timeor never.

I always relate respectfully with blue-collar people.

All that counts is the truth. Without it you're basically just juggling people's daft ideas.

Choas will come, calm will follow, and then it will start up all over again. The secret is to savor the ride.

I cannot face with comfort the idea of life without work; work and the free play of the imagination are for me the same thing, I take no pleasure in anything else.
