“It is costly because it costs a man his life, and it is grace because it gives a man the only true life.”

“God did not reckon his Son too dear a price to pay for our life, but delivered him up for us. Costly grace is the Incarnation of God.
Costly grace is the sanctuary of God; it has to be protected from the world, and not thrown to the dogs. It is therefore the living word, the Word of God, which he speaks as it pleases him. Grace is costly because it compels a man to submit to the yoke of Christ and follow him; it is grace because Jesus says: "My yoke is easy and my burden is light."”

“I hope it is true that a man can die and yet not only live in others but give them life, and not only life but that great consciousness of life.”

“Grace is free only because the giver himself has borne the cost.”

“There are some things which cannot be learned quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their acquiring. They are the very simplest things and because it takes a man's life to know them the little new that each man gets from life is very costly and the only heritage he has to leave.”

“But man, because he has only one life to live, cannot conduct experiments to test whether to follow his passion (compassion) or not.”

“Haters never win. I just think that's true about life, because negative energy always costs in the end.”

“There is no meaning to life except the meaning man gives his life by the unfolding of his powers.”

“A man should live his life a certain way not because of some divine authority, but because of a personal moral obligation to himself and others.”

“Because true love never keeps a man from pursuing his destiny”
