• ¿No es la época festiva, en la que las familias y los amigos intercambian regalos en memoria del Don depositado en el altar del mundo para la redención del género humano, el momento más apropiado para consagrar una porción de las abundantes riquezas y de la escasa pobreza para enviar la buena nueva de una gran alegría a toda la tierra?

• Me encantaba cada segundo de la iglesia católica. Me encantaba el olor dulzón a granada podrida del incienso. Me encantaba el altar recargado, la pila de agua bendita, las velas votivas; me encantaba que hubiera una pobre caja, las estaciones del vía crucis representadas en vidrieras en las ventanas.

• No vayas al templo a poner flores a los pies de Dios, llena primero tu propia casa con la fragancia del amor. No vayas al templo a encender velas ante el altar de Dios, elimina primero las tinieblas del pecado de tu corazón. No vayas al templo a inclinar la cabeza en oración, aprende primero a inclinarte con humildad ante tus semejantes. No vayas al templo a rezar de rodillas, inclínate primero para levantar a alguien que está pisoteado. No vayas al templo a pedir perdón por tus pecados, perdona primero de corazón a los que han pecado contra ti.

• Leo sobre los avivamientos del pasado, grandes avivamientos arrolladores donde miles de hombres fueron arrastrados al Reino de Dios. Leí acerca de Charles G. Finney ganando miles y cientos de miles de almas para Cristo. Luego tomé un libro y leí los mensajes de Charles G. Finney y el mensaje de Jonathan Edwards sobre 'Pecadores en manos de un Dios airado', y dije: '¡No es de extrañar que los hombres temblaran; no es de extrañar que cayeran en los altares y clamaran en arrepentimiento y sollozaran su camino al trono de la gracia!'.

• Every man that tried to destroy the Government, every man that shot at the holy flag in heaven, every man that starved our soldiers... every man that wanted to burn the negro, every one that wanted to scatter yellow fever in the North, every man that opposed human liberty, that regarded the auction-block as an altar and the howling of the bloodhound as the music of the Union, every man who wept over the corpse of slavery, that thought lashes on the naked back were a legal tender for labour performed, every one willing to rob a mother of her child - every solitary one was a Democrat.

• When I feel overwhelmed by misfortune, the greatest joy that the Lord can give me is to go to the altar, to put my forehead against it (as on the day of my ordination to the priesthood), and to feel the presence of the only reality. Not only does calm return, but my body seems to be annihilated; the only true life begins, the life of that which is intangible.

• It used to be the custom for the bachelor dinner to take place the night before the wedding. Now, however, the bridesmaids' and ushers' dinner is usually on that night, for a groom realizes that he and his attendants need some time in which to recover sufficiently to be able to distinguish the altar from the organ and walk up the aisle with no mishaps.

• Heathenism had proved unequal to the wants of men; and it was when the most thoughtful among the Pagans were turned away from its hollow mockeries and misleading altars that the anthem of the angels broke clear and loud above the slopes of Bethlehem: "Glory to God in the highest!

• I know it's the comedian's instinct to say, "Do it, man, nothing's off-limits! It's cool, bro!" I don't know if that's the answer for me. "Do I really want to make a joke about a miscarriage when a woman in the audience might have had one?" I don't worship comedy; at the end of the day I don't fall to the altar of comedy unquestioningly.

• I had run away from home three times. I had been kicked out of three different schools under different circumstances. I was kicked out of everything that I didn't quit. Kicked out of schools. Kicked out of summer camp, the Boy Scouts, the altar boys, the choir, and something else that I can't think of, that I'm proud of. Anyway, that was my pattern. I just began to invent myself early in life, and went out and did something about it.

• I guess I'm an atheist. But I would say I have very good relationships with the priests that I grew up with. I was an altar boy growing up, and the men of God in my life have always been really lovely, intelligent, well-informed, kind men. So I feel very loyal to their beliefs as much as anything else.
