• It is in giving that we receive.

• If you have men who will exclude any of God’s creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.

• It is in pardoning that we are pardoned.

• It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching.

• It is not fitting, when one is in God’s service, to have a gloomy face or a chilling look.

• Lord, grant that I might not so much seek to be loved as to love.

• Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is injury let me sow pardon.

• Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

• While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart.

• I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, he can work through anyone.

There are moments when the Spirit moves among men and the breath of the Lord is abroad upon the waters of our being; there are others when it retires and men are left to act in the strength or the weakness of their own egoism. The first are periods when even a little effort produces great results and changes destiny; the second are spaces of time when much labour goes to the making of a little result. It is true that the latter may prepare the former, may be the little smoke of sacrifice going up to heaven which calls down the rain of God’s bounty. Unhappy is the man or the nation which, when the divine moment arrives, is found sleeping or unprepared to use it, because the lamp has not been kept trimmed for the welcome and the ears are sealed to the call.
