«What seem our worst prayers may really be, in God's eyes, our best. Those, I mean, which are least supported by devotional feeling. For these may come from a deeper level than feeling. God sometimes seems to speak to us most intimately when he catches us, as it were, off our guard.»

«There are four types of persons, the ?dead?, who deny the Lord and declare that they alone exist, independent and self-directed, the ?sick?, who call upon the Lord when some calamity befalls them or when they feel temporarily deserted by the unusual source of succor, the ?dull?, who know that God is the eternal companion and watchman, but who remember it only off and on when the idea is potent and powerful, and lastly the ?healthy?, who have steady belief in the Lord and who live in His Comforting Creative Presence always?.»
