"In God you come up against something which is in every respect immeasurably superior to yourself. Unless you know God as that-and, therefore, know yourself as nothing in comparison-you do not know God at all."

"The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us."

"It is a good rule after reading a new book, never to allow yourself another new one till you have read an old one in between."

"The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts."
