~ We are too much haunted by ourselves; we project the central shadow of ourselves on everything around us. And then comes in the gospel to rescue us from this selfishness. Redemption is this--to forget self in God. ~
~ The selfish man cuts away the sand from under his own feet, he digs his own grave; and every time, from the beginning of the world until now, God Almighty pushes him into the grave and covers him up. ~
~ Those who do not hate their own selfishness and regard themselves as more important than the rest of the world are blind because the truth lies elsewhere ~
