“If we were not all so interested in ourselves, life would be so uninteresting that none of us would be able to endure it.”

“The teachings of the Bible are so interwoven and entwined with our whole civic and social life that it would be literally impossible for us to figure to ourselves what that life would be if these teaching were removed.”

“God will not allow us to be overwhelmed by temptation, but with it He will provide a way of escape so that we will be able to endure it.”

“It's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it?”

“It comforts me to think that if we are created beings the thing that created us would have to be greater than us, so much greater, in fact, that we would not be able to understand it. It would have to be greater than the facts of our reality and so it would seem to us, looking out from within our reality that it would contradict reason. But reason itself would suggest it would have to be greater than reality or it would not be reasonable.”

“It is a great advantage for us to be able to consult someone who knows us, so that we may learn to know ourselves.”
