Every man should have laws of his own, I should think; commandments of his own, for every man has a different set of circumstances wherein to work - or worry.

We need to accept that the commandments of God aren't just a long list of good ideas. They aren't 'life hacks' from an Internet blog or motivational quotes from a Pinterest board.

God's commandments are not given to limit or punish us.

I write all my sermons.

We may not all break the Ten Commandments, but we are certainly all capable of it. Within us lurks the breaker of all laws, ready to spring out at the first real opportunity.

Say to all small and great, and that often, that fully, quickly and willingly, without grumbling and contradiction, they do all your commands that are not against God.

I think writers write for their consciences, they write for their own true audiences, for their souls.

Every compulsion is put upon writers to become safe, polite, obedient, and sterile.

The commandment of God is, that we love Our Lord in all our heart, in all our soul, in all our thought.
