--Nan Fairbrother

The humble man

The humble man is God-surrendered, safe from despair because he knows that he is loved by Love Itself.

Affection

Talk not of wasted affection; affection never was wasted.

Peace

Peace is the effect not of justice merely, but of love.

The language of friendship

The language of friendship is not in words but meanings.

Faith

This is a sane, wholesome, practical, working faith: That it is a man's business to do the will of God; second, that God himself takes on the care of that man; and third, that therefore that man ought never to be afraid of anything.

--George Macdonald

Filled

Only when a box is empty can it be filled. Only when the ego is deflated can God pour in His blessings.

--Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen
