“But all the wickedness in the world which man may do or think is no more to the mercy of God than a live coal dropped in the sea.”

“Only the man who has had to face despair is really convinced that he needs mercy. Those who do not want mercy never seek it. It is better to find God on the threshold of despair than to risk our lives in a complacency that has never felt the need of forgiveness. A life that is without problems may literally be more hopeless than one that always verges on despair.”

“Keyholes are the occasions of more sin and wickedness, than all other holes in this world put together.”

“God has left sin in the world in order that there may be forgiveness: not only the secret forgiveness by which He Himself cleanses our souls, but the manifest forgiveness by which we have mercy on one another and so give expression to the fact that He is living, by His mercy, in our own hearts.”

“Misunderstandings and neglect occasion more mischief in the world than malice and wickedness.”

“A man may stand for the justice of God, but a woman stands for His Mercy.”
