“Love always involves responsibility, and love always involves sacrifice. And we do not really love Christ unless we are prepared to face His task and to take up His Cross.”
“When we believe that God is Father, we also believe that such a father's hand will never cause his child a needless tear. We may not understand life any better, but we will not resent life any longer.”
“The tragedy of life and of the world is not that men do not know God; the tragedy is that, knowing Him, they still insist on going their own way.”
“There are many things that make a man irritable when he arrives home from work in the evening and a sensible wife will usually notice the storm-signals and will leave him alone until he simmers down.”

“We can learn to work and speak when we are afraid in the same way we have learned to work and speak when we are tired.”
“If we feel inwardly strong, we will have no need or desire to speak ill of others.”
“My problem is I say what I'm thinking before I think what I'm saying.”
“Love is such a tremendous force of feeling! When you can't stop loving, you simply cannot stop it.”
“When you think in silence you cannot speak your mind.”
