“I have found that living with faith in an unseen world requires constant effort.”

“Faith is belief in the unseen. If you have any kind of faith, you already believe in the unseen.”

“We have lived our lives by the assumption that what was good for us would be good for the world. We have been wrong. We must change our lives so that it will be possible to live by the contrary assumption, that what is good for the world will be good for us. And that requires that we make the effort to know the world and learn what is good for it.”

“Dying isn’t like living; it requires no effort at all.”

“Faith, hope, love, and insight are the highest achievements of human effort. They are found-given-by experience.”

“There have been times of late when I have had to hold on to one text with all my might: "It is required in stewards that a man may be found faithful." Praise God, it does not say "sucessful.”
