The strength of a man consists in finding out the way in which God is going, and going in that way too.

The really happy man is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

Never resist temptation: prove all things: hold fast that which is good.

It is characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things.

A problem not worth praying about is not worth worrying about.

The Apostle] Paul's prayer for the Christians at Colosse should always be on our lips: That God fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding (Colossians 1:9).

But why think about that when all the golden lands ahead of you and all kinds of unforseen events wait lurking to surprise you and make you glad you're alive to see?

Things are so hard to figure out when you live from day to day in this feverish and silly world.

As we crossed the Colorado-Utah border I saw God in the sky in the form of huge gold sunburning clouds above the desert that seemed to point a finger at me and say, Pass here and go on, you're on the road to heaven.

The road must eventually lead to the whole world. Ain't nowhere else it can go - right?

I wanta swim in rivers and drink goatmilk and talk with priests and just read Chinese books and amble around the valleys talking to farmers and their children.

I fear mostly my inability to capture all the things that come, I fear their mysterious source, I fear their fate, I fear me, in short. This is true…it's like finding a river of gold when you haven't even got a cup to save a cupful…you've but a thimble, and that thimble is your pathetic brain and labour and humanness.
