Our enemies are our evil deeds and their memories, our pride, our selfishness, our malice, our passions, which by conscience or by habit pursue us with a relentlessness past the power of figure to express.

We must seek the loving-kindness of God in all the breadth and open-air of common life.

There is no truth which the prophets press more steadily upon Israel than that all their national life lies in the sight and on the care of God.

Man does find in Nature deliverance from himself, oblivion of his past, with peace and purity!

Jesus Christ tells us that a man cannot be wrong if he argues towards God from what he finds best in himself.

Into every soul, however purged and fenced, evil appears to have as much freedom of entrance as God Himself.

Jesus Christ tells us that a man cannot be wrong if he argues towards God from what he finds best in himself.

To us sin has not become any less of a mystery or a pain.

If we have a heart for the magnitudes of life, it will not seem vain to believe that God Himself should guard it.

Let those who, still in their youth, have preserved their faith and fullness of hope, keep looking up.

Our enemies are our evil deeds and their memories, our pride, our selfishness, our malice, our passions, which by conscience or by habit pursue us with a relentlessness past the power of figure to express.

The whole mystery of temptation is to have sins suggested to us, and to be swept after them by a sudden enthusiasm, which sometimes feels as strong as the Spirit of God ever made in us the enthusiasm for virtue.

Yet none use their words more recklessly than the strong, who have not been sobered by the rebuffs and uncertainties of life.

To us sin has not become any less of a mystery or a pain.
