One always feel better when one has made up one's mind.
you had nothing to say about it and yet made the nothing up into words.
Here at last is the thing I was made for.
Cobbles and kettledrums! ...I hope this madness isn't going to end in a moonlit climb and broken necks.
The love of knowledge is a kind of madness.
Make your choice, adventurous Stranger, Strike the bell and bide the danger, Or wonder, till it drives you mad, What would have followed if you had.
Your place in Heaven will seem to be made for you and you alone, because you were made for it.
We were made not primarily that we may love God, but that God may love us.
Now God, who has made us, knows what we are and that our happiness lies in Him.
The sane would do no good if they made themselves mad to help madmen.
If our deepest desires cannot be satisfied in this world, then we must have been made for another world.
Thirst was made for water. Inquiry for truth.
The humblest praise most, while cranks & malcontents praise least. Praise almost seems to be inner health made audible
Many things have gone wrong with the world that God made and... God insists, and insists very loudly, on our putting them right again
