What draws people to be friends is that they see the same truth. They share it.
To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken
Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again
I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else
A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest
If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world
The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art.... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival
To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you
We are not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be
Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained
Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world
Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say “My tooth is aching” than to say “My heart is broken.”
If you simply try to tell the truth (without caring two pence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it
