| 我篤信基督信仰，正如我篤信太陽已升起：不僅是因為我親眼看見了它，更是因為我看見了它所照亮的一切。

| 如果你的信仰，叫你覺得自己是何等虔誠，比別人聖潔；那麼這信仰，肯定不是出於神，而是出於那惡者。惟有當你體驗和承認自己是一個何等渺小、卑微的罪人，又願意謙卑在神的腳下，這才是聖靈的工作。

| Why love, if losing hurts so much? I have no answers any more, only the life I’ve lived. Twice in that life I’ve been given the choice, as a boy, and as a man. The boy chose safety. The man chooses suffering. The pain, now, is part of the happiness, then. That’s the deal.（Today’s pain is part of that time’s happyness.）

| Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.

| If God is Love, He is, by definition something more than mere kindness. And it appears, from all the records, that though He has often rebuked us and condemned us, He has never regarded us with contempt. He has paid us the intolerable compliment of loving us, in the deepest, most tragic, most inexorable sense.

| The world does not consist of 100 percent Christians and 100 percent non-Christians. There are people (a great many of them) who are slowly ceasing to be Christians but who still call themselves by that name: some of them are clergymen. There are other people who are slowly becoming Christians though they do not yet call themselves so.

| 為什麼沒有告訴我們答案？主，我現在明白過來了，因為你就是答案。在你面前，所有的疑問都消失了，還有什麼答案比你更充分呢？其他的答案不過都是字句的組合，看似解決了我們的問題，其實又已經把我們引到了另一場字句的衝突裡。

| 當我學習愛神，比愛我最愛的人還多，我便可以更愛我最愛的；一旦我為了愛我最愛的人而犧牲神，我會連我最愛的人都無法愛了。優先的事情先做，不會排擠、反而能成全次要的事。

| 在一切境遇中，我們都應當感恩。如果那是美好的境遇，就因著當中的美好而感謝。如果那是不好的境遇，就因著當中所激發出的耐心、謙遜，以及輕看世界、盼望永恆國度的心志，來獻上感恩的心。

| Everyone thinks forgiveness is a lovely idea until he has something to forgive.
|
| What draws people to be friends is that they see the same truth. They share it.
|
| We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and private: and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship.
|
| The pain I feel now is the happiness I had before. That’s the deal.
|
| History isn't just the story of bad people doing bad things. It's quite as much a story of people trying to do good things. But somehow, something goes wrong.
|
| Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.
|
| We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.

| 我禱告並不是要上帝回應，我禱告是因為我習慣如此，我禱告是因為我感到無助，我禱告是因為我需要有出口，不管是醒著還是入睡，禱告沒有改變上帝，禱告改變了我。

| A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word ‘darkness’ on the walls of his cell.

| God allows us to experience the low points of life in order to teach us lessons that we could learn no other way.

| There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind.
|
| When we lose one blessing, another is often unexpectedly given in its place.

| Faith is the art of holding on to things in spite of your changing moods and circumstances.

| Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.
|
| The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us.
|
| Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point.
|
| God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: It is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.
|
| I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.

| A cold, self-righteous prig who goes regularly to church may be far nearer to Hell than a prostitute.

| Those that hate goodness are sometimes nearer than those that know nothing at all about it and think they have it.

| To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.
|
| Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable.
|
| I didn't go to religion to make me happy. I always knew a bottle of Port would do that. If you want a religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don』t recommend Christianity.

| If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.

| 最終只有兩種人：那些對神說，『願你的旨意成就』的人；以及那些最終聽見神對他們說，『願你如願以償』的人。所有在地獄裡的人，都是自己選擇的。

| 真正從福音而產生的謙卑，其本質並不是把自己想得太高或太低，而是更少想到自己。

| 信仰就像陽光一樣，你可以站在一邊觀察研究陽光的顏色，特質等等。但是你只有進入陽光，站在陽光下，你才能那個感受陽光的溫暖，才能體會到陽光的意義。

|
| 如果我在自己裡面，發現我有一種渴望，是這個世界中任何經歷都無法滿足的。那麼最可能的解釋就是，我是為了另外一個世界而造的。

| 你無法與神建立正確的關係，除非你發現一件事實——我們是破產的人。破產的人，沒有討價還價的餘地。
|
| 愛意味著在被愛者失去了美貌的時候依然愛她；然而，這不等於說正因為被愛者失去美貌才愛她。愛可以寬容一切缺點，愛得不顧一切。然而，愛仍然希望除去這些缺點。比起恨來，愛對被愛者的每個瑕疵更為敏感。

| 我們是鏡子，我們的亮光完全來自照耀我們的太陽。
|
| 一條曲線之所以被判斷為曲，因為有一條直線相對比。上帝就是那條直線，當祂出現，一切都會顯明何為曲。
|
| 請求與強求的本質不一樣之處，在於請求不一定蒙應允。假如一位有無限智慧的神聆聽愚蠢又有限的人的請求，祂當然有時有時候會允許他們，有時候拒絕他們。禱告一律「成功」，一點也不會證實基督教的教義，只會證明像魔術一樣的東西。

| 太陽永遠在那一邊，在路上圈出弧形，我常在陰影的這邊，但永不對太陽失去信心。

| 現在我是基督徒，我確實有時覺得整件事看來不可能：但當我曾是無神論者的時候，我卻覺得基督教看起來非常可能。
|
| 我反對神的理由是：宇宙看來太殘酷和不公了。但是我怎麼知道公義和不公的概念？人不會把一條線叫做曲線，除非他知道直線是什麼。當我稱這宇宙不公時，是在拿什麼作比較？
|
| 一個希望一直做完美無神論者的年輕人讀書時要格外小心。到處都是陷阱－如赫伯特所說，『《聖經》張開了細緻的網，用了精密的計策，讓我們落入千百萬的驚奇。』如果我可以這樣說的話：神也太不擇手段了。
|
| 人與其它動物的一個區別是他想要瞭解事物，想要找到現實的真相，只是為了瞭解。當那個渴望被完全撲滅時，我認為此人已經不是完整的人了。
