God Quotes
-
For you [God] are infinite and never change. In you "today" never comes to an end: and yet our "today" does come to an end in you, because time, as well as everything else, exists in you. If it did not, it would have no means of passing. And since your years never come to an end, for you they are simply "today."

People who have the courage to be individuals can usually think things through on their own and make sound decisions. They don't say, "What will people think?"

So the best way to achieve real fulfillment is to be yourself.

How would it profit a man if he got into a tight place, to call he people who put him there miserable sinners? Or himself a miserable sinner? I disliked the levelling aspect of this sinnerdom, it was like a cricket match played in a drizzle, where everybody had an excuse - and what a dull excuse! - for playing badly.

I saw it as something bright and positive and sustaining, like the sunshine, something to be adored, but from afar.

I cannot think that when God sent us into the world, he had irreversibly decreed that we should be perpetually miserable in it.
