When we set truth on its head we usually fail to notice that our head too is not standing where it ought to stand.

A friend should be a master at guessing and keeping still

The love of truth has its reward in heaven and even on earth.

Nobody dies nowadays of fatal truths: there are too many antidotes to them.

When one gives up the Christian faith, one pulls the right to Christian morality out from under one's feet... Christianity is a system, a whole view of things thought out together. By breaking one main concept out of it, the faith in God, one breaks the whole: nothing necessary remains in one's hands. Christianity presupposes that man does not know, cannot know, what is good for him, what evil: he believes in God, who alone knows it... it has truth only if God is the truth — it stands and falls with faith in God.

All truth is simple... is that not doubly a lie?
