“What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.”
“Were we able to extract from any man a complete answer to the question, "What comes into your mind when you think about God?" we might predict with certainty the future of that man.”
“What we think about when we are free to think about what we will – that is what we are or will soon become.”
“Teach us to know that we cannot know, for the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Let faith support us where reason fails, and we shall think because we believe, not in order that we may believe.”
“Our self-trust is such a subtle thing that it still comes around whispering to us even after we are sure it is gone.”
“The burden borne by mankind is a heavy and a crushing thing. The word Jesus used means a load carried or toil borne to the point of exhaustion. Rest is simply release from that burden. It is not something we do, it is what comes to us when we cease to do. His own meekness, that is the rest.”
“We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts”
