"It is not easy to explain why God permits evil; but it is impossible for an atheist to explain the existence of goodness. How could a spiritless, soul-less, cross-less, Godless universe become the center of faith, purity, sacrifice, and martyrdom? How can decency be the decent thing if there is no God? Since God is love, why should we be surprised that want of it should end in pain, hate, broken hearts, and war?"

"Life is like a cash register, in that every account, every thought, every deed, like every sale, is registered and recorded."

"It's like being a Knight of the Garter. It's an honor, but it doesn't hold up anything."

"Hearing nuns' confessions is like being stoned to death with popcorn."

"The nearer Christ comes to a heart, the more it becomes conscious of its guilt; it will then either ask for his mercy and find peace, or else it will turn against Him because it is not yet ready to give up its sinfulness. Thus He will separate the good from the bad, the wheat from the chaff. Man's reaction to this Divine Presence will be the test: either it will call out all the opposition of egotistic natures, or else galvanize them into a regeneration and a resurrection."

"Evil is thus a kind of parasite on goodness. If there were no good by which to measure things, evil could not exist. Men sometimes forget this, and say, there is so much evil in the world that there cannot be a God. They are forgetting that, if there were no God, they would have no way of distinguishing evil from goodness. The very concept of evil admits and recognizes a Standard, a Whole, a Rule, an Order. Nobody would say that his automobile was out of order if he did not have a conception of how an automobile ought to run."

"Broadmindedness, when it means indifference to right and wrong, eventually ends in a hatred of what is right."

"The proud man counts his newspaper clippings, the humble man his blessings."

"Each of us makes his own weather determines the color of the skies in the emotional universe which he inhabits."

"Learning comes from books, penetration of a mystery from suffering."

"Skeptics always want miracles such as stepping down from the Cross, but never the greater miracle of forgiveness."
