Few people arise in the morning as hungry for God as they are for cornflakes or toast and eggs.

Our failure to hear His voice when we want to is due to the fact that we do not in general want to hear it, that we want it only when we think we need it.

The true saint burns grace like a 747 burns fuel on takeoff.
