"For pride is spiritual cancer: it eats up the very possibility of love, or contentment, or even common sense."

"If you love deeply, you're going to get hurt badly. But it's still worth it."

"A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you."

"Every Christian would agree that a man's spiritual health is exactly proportional to his love for God."

"Gratitude looks to the Past and love to the Present; fear, avarice, lust, and ambition look ahead."

"Love as distinct from "being in love" is not merely a feeling. It is a deep unity, maintained by the will and deliberately strengthened by habit."
