Men seek fame and high places only to learn that they were happier in obscurity

It is not our business to make the message acceptable, but to make it available. We are not to see that they like it, but that they get it.

Blessed is that Christian who can accept at the start by simple faith that which others reach only through years of questioning and reach it only then because they give up trying to analyze it and decide to accept it.
