D. Elton Trueblood

Never trust a theologian who doesn't have a sense of humor.

Faith is not belief without proof, but trust without reservation.

At the profoundest depths in life, men talk not about God but with Him.

No vital Christianity is possible unless at least three aspects of it are developed. These are the inner life of devotion, the outer life of service, and the intellectual life of rationality.

One of the noblest words in our language is "grace," defined as "unearned blessing." We live by grace far more than by anything else. Accordingly, I find that the one thing which I want to put into practice in my own life is the conscious and deliberate habit of finding someone to thank.

The only way to happiness is never to give happiness a thought.

We need to be agnostics first and then there is some chance at arriving at a sensible system of belief.

The ultimate verification of our religion consists of the changed lives to which it can point and for which it is responsible.
