Faith is not belief without proof, but trust without reservations.

God doesn't call people who are qualified. He calls people who are willing, and then He qualifies them.

Do not let your happiness depend on something you may lose... only [upon] the Beloved who will never pass away.

It's hard for God to walk with a man who gets his mind made up to do things his own way.

God loves us the way we are but He loves us too much to leave us that way.

In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

Intercessory prayer might be defined as loving our neighbour on our knees.

Preach the gospel everyday; if necessary, use words.

Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you yourself shall be the miracle.

Real authority is the power to serve.

Christ is not valued at all unless He is valued above all.

Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.

Trust the past to God's mercy, the present to God's love and the future to God's providence.

If ours is an examined faith, we should be unafraid to doubt....There is no believing without some doubting, and believing is all the stronger for understanding and resolving doubt.

Over the long run, love's power to forgive is stronger than hate's power to get even.

The world says, The more you take, the more you have. Christ says, the more you give, the more you are.

Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore we are saved by love.

Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime; therefore we must be saved by hope.

Let your hook always be cast. In the pool where you least expect it, will be a fish.

Those who keep speaking about the sun while walking under a cloudy sky are messengers of hope, the true saints of our day.
