The church is the one institution that exists for those outside it.
The church is like a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints.
You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.
The church is like a swimming pool. Most of the noise comes from the shallow end.
In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity.

A community is like a ship; everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm.
The church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints.
