“We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts.”

“An idol is anything you look to for happiness or security or significance, other than the Creator.”

“God is looking for people through whom He can do the impossible—what a pity that we plan only the things we can do by ourselves.”

“The world is not a playground; it is a schoolroom. Life is not a holiday, but an education.”

“A man who is intimate with God will never be intimidated by men.”

“When we become too glib in prayer we are most surely talking to ourselves.”

“What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.”

“Refuse to be average. Let your heart soar as high as it will.”

“To be right with God has often meant to be in trouble with men.”

“God never uses a man greatly until He has wounded him deeply.”

“The reason why many are still troubled, still seeking... is because they haven't yet come to the end of themselves.”

“What God says is best, is best, though all the men in the world are against it.”

“Jesus Christ is not valued at all unless He is valued above all.”

“We are called to an everlasting preoccupation with God.”

“Perhaps it takes a purer faith to praise God for unrealized blessings than for those we enjoy already.”

“The man who has God for his treasure has all things in One.”

“If you are a stranger to prayer, you are a stranger to power.”

“The yearning to know what cannot be known... arises from the image of God in the nature of man.”

“I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it.”

“The Christian is a man who can be certain about the ultimate even when he is uncertain about the immediate.”
