"God sent him in gentleness and meekness, as a king might send his son who is a king; he sent him as God; he sent him as a human to humans. When he sent him, he did so as one who saves by persuasion, not compulsion, for compulsion is no attribute of God." --Epistle to Diognetus
"I ask God, who empowers us both to speak and to listen, that I may be enabled to speak in such a way that you will derive the greatest possible benefit from listening, and that you may listen in such a way that the speaker will have no regrets." --The Epistle to Diognetus
"Discrimination in oneโs words is certainly required, but not love of oneโs wordsโthat is a form of self-love, a fatal love which leads a young writer to . . . excesses."
--Graham Greene
