Tolerance is a virtue, but, like all virtues, when exaggerated it transforms itself into a vice.

An organist who has the sensitivity to quietly play prelude music from the hymnbook tempers our feelings and causes us to go over in our minds the lyrics which teach the peaceable things of the kingdom.

We could be like a father determined to provide everything for his family. He devotes every energy to that end and succeeds only then does he discover that what they needed most, to be together as a family, has been neglected. And he reaps sorrow in place of contentment.

Mature love has a bliss not even imagined by newlyweds.

The choice of life is not between fame and fortune, nor wealth and poverty, but between good and evil.

We are not obedient because we are blind, we are obedient because we can see.
