How can we feel our need of His help, or our dependence on Him, or our debt to Him, or
the nature of His gift to us, unless we know ourselves…. This is why many in this age
(and in every age) become infidels, heretics, schismatics, disloyal despisers of the
Church…. They have never had experience of His power and love, because they have never
known their own weakness and need. — John Henry Newman
It is easier going out of the way when we are in, than going in when we are out. John
Bunyan, Pilgrim’s Progress, Bypath Meadow
Many people genuinely do not want to be saints, and it is probable that some who
achieve or aspire to sainthood have never felt much temptation to be human beings. —
George Orwell
We must remember throughout our lives that in God’s sight there are no little people
and no little places. Only one thing is important: to be consecrated persons in God’s
place for us, at each moment. Francis A. Schaeffer, No Little People, Ch. 1
