Evelyn Underhill
There is no place in my soul, no corner of my character, where God is not.
Evelyn Underhill

Evelyn Underhill
The will is what matters---as long as you have that, you are safe.
Evelyn Underhill
Christian history looks glorious in retrospect but it is made up of constant hard choices and unattractive tasks, accepted under the pressure of the Will of God.
Evelyn Underhill
The spiritual life of individuals has to be extended both vertically to God and horizontally to other souls and the more it grows in both directions, the less merely individual and therefore more truly personal it will become.
Evelyn Underhill
After all it is those who have a deep and real inner life who are best able to deal with the irritating details of outer life.
