Those whom God wishes to destroy he first makes mad.

It is not because angels are holier than men or devils that makes them angels but because they do not expect holiness from one another but from God only.

We make our friends we make our enemies but God makes our next door neighbour.

God is cruel. Sometimes he makes you live.

The great gift of Easter is hope - Christian hope which makes us have that confidence in God in his ultimate triumph and in his goodness and love which nothing can shake.

God is a thought who makes crooked all that is straight.
