“There is meaning in every journey that is unknown to the traveler.”

Nothing can be more cruel than the leniency which abandons others to their sin. Nothing can be more compassionate than the severe reprimand which calls another Christian in one’s community back from the path of sin.

Judging others makes us blind, whereas love is illuminating. By judging others we blind ourselves to our own evil and to the grace which others are just as entitled to as we are.

The world exercises dominion by force and Christ and Christians conquer by service.

Where God tears great gaps we should not try to fill them with human words.

Time is the most valuable thing that we have, because it is the most irrevocable.

We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God.

Grace at a low cost, is in the last resort simply a new law, which brings neither help nor freedom.

Not to speak is to speak.

When Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die.

The fact that we do not speak it but sing it only expresses the fact that our spoken words are inadequate to express what we want to say, that the burden of our song goes far beyond all human words.

Jesus is the only significance. Beside Jesus nothing has any significance. He alone matters.

A pastor should never complain about his congregation, certainly never to other people, but also not to God. A congregation has not been entrusted to him in order that he should become its accuser before God and men.

Through our daily meals He is calling us to rejoice, to keep holiday in the midst of our working day.

The Church is the Church only when it exists for others, not dominating, but helping and serving. It must tell men of every calling what it means to live for Christ, to exist for others.

When all is said and done, the life of faith is nothing if not an unending struggle of the spirit with every available weapon against the flesh.

Absolute seriousness is never without a dash of humor.

Knowing where you are going is the first step to getting there.

The journey, I promise you, is the greatest thing ever. The destination always takes care of itself.

Put away the book, the description, the tradition, the authority, and take the journey of self-discovery.

Vision is knowing who you are, where you’re going, and what will guide your journey.

The path of duty lies in what is near, and men seek for it in what is remote; the work of duty lies in what is easy, and men seek for it in what is difficult.

Everything happening around me is very random. I am enjoying the phase, as the journey is far more enjoyable than the destination.

The importance of a journey is not measured by the distance covered, but by the destination reached.

Why, I’d like nothing better than to achieve some bold adventure, worthy of our trip.
