Christopher Morley
We call a child's mind 'small' simply by habit perhaps it is larger than ours is, for it can take in almost anything without effort.
Christopher Morley
Why do they put the Gideon Bibles only in the bedrooms, where it's usually too late...?
Christopher Morley
Men talk of finding God, but no wonder it is difficult He is hidden in that darkest hiding-place, your heart. You yourself are a part of Him.
Christopher Morley

Christopher Morley
There is only one success - to be able to spend your life in your own way.
Christopher Morley
My theology, briefly, is that the universe was dictated but not signed.
Christopher Morley
The world has been printing books for 450 years, and yet gunpowder still has a wider circulation. Never mind! Printer's ink is the greater explosive: it will win.
Christopher Morley
It will be a shock to men when they realize that thoughts that were fast enough for today are not fast enough for tomorrow. But thinking tomorrow's thoughts today is one kind of future life.
