'Tis heaven alone that is given away, 'Tis only God may be had for the asking.

God doesn't always smooth the path, but sometimes he puts springs in the wagon.

A mighty fortress is our God, A bulwark never failing.

You think God looks out for people? said Rawlins. Yeah. I guess He does. You? Yeah. I do. Way the world is. Somebody can wake up and sneeze in Arkansas or some damn place and before you're done there's wars and ruination and all hell. You don't know what's going to happen. I'd say He's just about got to. I don't believe we'd make it a day otherwise.

By and by God caught his eye.

Do not measure God's mind by your own.

The Almighty can hardly be such a fool as the churches make out.

An idol tells people exactly what to believe, God presents them with choices they have to make for themselves. The difference is far from insignificant; before the idol men remain dependent children, before God they are burdened and at the same time liberated to participate in the decisions of endless creation.

By humble experience man has learned that there are very few things in this world worth getting upset about. He knows that if he does his best, God will do the rest.

By steps we may ascend to God.
