Sacrifice is nothing other than the production of sacred things.

The whole point of a sacrifice is that you give up something you never really wanted in the first place. People are doing it around you all the time. They give up their careers, say - or their beliefs - or sex.

It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.

There's only one effectively redemptive sacrifice, the sacrifice of self-will to make room for the knowledge of God.

There is no sense to a sacrifice after you come to feel that it is a sacrifice.

The mark of one who loves God and saints is sacrifice.

It is not sacrifice if you love what you're doing.

If you choose to do something, then you shouldn't say it's a sacrifice, because nobody forced you to do it.

People want to make sacrifices but they don't want to be sacrificed.
