William Inge

The wise man is he who knows the relative value of things.

Many people believe that they are attracted by God, or by Nature, when they are only repelled by man.

All faith consists essentially in the recognition of a world of spiritual values behind, yet not apart from, the world of natural phenomena.

Prayer gives a man the opportunity of getting to know a gentleman he hardly ever meets. I do not mean his maker, but himself.

The soul is dyed with the color of its leisure thoughts.

Action is the normal completion of the act of will which begins as prayer. That action is not always external, but it is always some kind of effective energy.
