“The ethical aspect may be set out, and then the economic. Whose task is it to mix them; to combine? Certainly not anyone who, however skilled in one, is ignorant of the other. Surely, if the economist does not like the task or feel apt for it, he cannot complain if the parson essays it and, with the best of intentions and no discipline, reaches conclusions which do injustice to economics. It is a combined study of peculiar balance and interpretation, and perhaps has not yet developed a proper technique of its own.”

“And then Andy told him about Meikelberger's farm. Had Isaac ever thought of buying more land – say, a neighbor's farm?
"Well, if I did I've have to go in debt to buy it, and to farm it. It would be more time and help than I've got. And I'd lose my neighbor."
"You'd rather have your neighbor?"
"We're supposed to love our neighbors as ourselves. We try. If you need them, it helps.”

“No man ever saw God and lived; and yet, I shall not live till I see God; and when I have seen him I shall never die”

“Christianity is incompatible with the thought of humanism or paganism. Let those who still have not seen this, and who still do not believe in the possibility of Christian scholarship, be warned…. Christian scholars today face a choice. Either they acknowledge that nothing in this temporal world can be withdrawn from the claim of the Christian religion and that this religion will not be content with the role of decorative superstructure atop a scholarship that is at bottom and in essence idolatrous. Or they should withdraw from a field where they are deeply convinced the banner of Christ’s kingship cannot be boldly planted. No other choice exists. Tertium ultra non datur—there is no other alternative”
