“It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason. That is what faith is: God perceived by the heart, not by the reason.”

Man’s greatness lies in his power of thought.

All of our reasoning ends in surrender to feeling.

The Christian religion teaches me two points-that there is a God whom men can know, and that their nature is so corrupt that they are unworthy of Him.

Most of man’s trouble comes from his inability to be still.

We never love a person, but only qualities.

If you want to be a real seeker of truth, you need to, at least once in your lifetime, doubt in, as much as it’s possible, in everything.

The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing.

Don’t try to add more years to your life. Better add more life to your years.

What a vast difference there is between knowing God and loving Him.
