“Man may dismiss compassion from his heart, but God never will.”

“You see, the one who wills for judgment is man, not God. The heart of God wills for salvation. Greater than His judgments are His compassions.”

“His universal compassion was due less to natural instinct, than to a profound conviction, a sum of thoughts that in the course of living had filtered through to his heart: for in the nature of man, as in rock, there may be channels hollowed by the dropping of water, and these can never be destroyed.”

“He bequeaths us His manger, from which to learn how God came down to man, and His cross to teach us how man may go up to God.”

“My child, never judge a man because of his race. Never. God looks at the heart. So should we. We are all made in God's image.”

“And if God is a suffering God, if this whole universe is borne on a heart infinite in compassion, then the more we suffer in his name the closer we come to him.”
