Do you understand that it's impossible to please God in any way other than wholehearted surrender?

Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don't really matter.

The world says love yourself, grab all you can, follow your heart. Jesus says deny yourself, grab your cross and follow me.

All real democracy is an attempt like that of a jolly hostess to bring the shy people out.

I was on the central table and we were a very intimate group.

So much magic lies beyond our fears.
