Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for the LORD does not see as mortals s...ee; they look on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power throug...h his Spirit, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love. I pray that you may have the power to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Future contingents cannot be certain to us, because we know them as such. They can be certain only to God whose understanding is i...n eternity above time. Just as a man going along a road does not see those who come after him; but the man who sees the whole road from a height sees all those who are going along the road at the same time.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
'Tis not to see the world As from a height, with rapt prophetic eyes,... And heart profoundly stirred; And weep, and feel the fullness of the past, The years that are not more.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
To marry a man out of pity is folly; and, if you think you are going to influence the kind of fellow who has "never had a chance, ...poor devil," you are profoundly mistaken. One can only influence the strong characters in life, not the weak; and it is the height of vanity to suppose that you can make an honest man of anyone.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Next, 'real' is what we may call a trouser-word. It is usually thought, and I dare say usually rightly thought, that what one migh...t call the affirmative use of a term is basic--that, to understand 'x,' we need to know what it is to be x, or to be an x, and that knowing this apprises us of what it is not to be x, not to be an x. But with 'real' (as we briefly noted earlier) it is the negative use that wears the trousers.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

There are various forms of the disease which the victim is unable to say "No." Some of these forms are more serious than others, a...nd often lead to electrocution or marriage.... "No-phobia" reaches its height of futility when someone is giving you directions as to how to reach some place that you really want to reach.... The result is, I spend the night crashing up and down the wrong streets and am known as a boor who never arrives on time. And all because I didn't have the guts to say, "I haven't the slightest idea what you are talking about."LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
We have not the motive to prepare ourselves for a "life-work" of teaching, of social work--we know that we would lay it down with ...hallelujah in the height of our success, to make a home for the right man. And all the time in the background of our consciousness rings the warning that perhaps the right man will never come. A great love is given to very few. Perhaps this make-shift time filler of a job is our life work after all.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
