“...Nothing puzzles God”

“The impatient idealist says: 'Give me a place to stand and I shall move the earth.' But such a place does not exist. We all have to stand on the earth itself and go with her at her pace.”

“Do not despair. I know you will not despair. You have a manly and a proud heart. A proud heart can survive a general failure because such a failure does not prick its pride. It is more difficult and more bitter when a man fails alone.”

“A man who calls his kinsmen to a feast does not do so to save them from starving. They all have food in their own homes.

Our Lord used the whip only once in His life - to drive the crowd away from His church.”
