You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.
We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.
Thirty was so strange for me. I've really had to come to terms with the fact that I am now a walking and talking adult.
There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, "All right, then, have it your way."
The safest road to hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.
The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.
Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith but they are afflictions, not sins. Like all afflictions, they are, if we can so take them, our share in the passion of Christ.
Nothing that you have not given away will ever be really yours.
Eros will have naked bodies; Friendship naked personalities.
If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.
Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither.
