Kindle Notes & Highlights
The significance of what a man says depends largely upon what he is.
Men do stupid and silly things because they do not think. They would cease doing them if they would take time for reflection. Jesus was always saying, “What do you think?” His only hope for men is in getting them to think. His attitude from first to last is the attitude of God as pictured by Isaiah. He was always saying, “Come, now, let us reason together.”
He unifies human life and simplifies it and elevates it and transforms it and transfigures it, all because he is the Master and the Saviour of the heart.
This indomitable Optimist has confidence in you. You have no hope for yourself. He has. You see your weakness, sordidness, vileness; he sees deeper, and seeing deeper he has hope for you. He sees your capacity of God. He knows what you can do when you have come to yourself.
Nothing seems so crazy as enthusiasm to a man incapable of feeling it.
