“None are more unjust in their judgments of others than those who have a high opinion of themselves.”

“No matter how dear you are to God, if pride is harboured in your spirit, He will whip it out of you. They that go up in their own estimation must come down again by His discipline”

“A better idea than my own is to listen.”

“The hope of the world is still in dedicated minorities. The trail-blazers in human, scientific and religious freedom have always been in a minority.”

“I would not wish to be Prime Minister, dear.”
