“Why do some persons 'find' God in a way that others do not? Why does God manifest His Presence to some and let multitudes of others struggle along in the half-light of imperfect Christian experience? Of course the will of God is the same for all.

― Rainer Maria Rilke, The Selected Poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke

“No man should judge unless he asks himself in absolute honesty whether in a similar situation he might not have done the same.”
