Nothing can add to this, but the blight of interhuman competition can certainly detract from it.”

Significance asks, 'How can I add value to others?' It is your intention that lends itself to significance.”

“Worship demands the far distances of God; it protests against the little, the near, the material. It must love but it must look up. It cannot live without the note of spirituality and universality, if not mystery. The ascension, the passing of Christ within the veil, answers this need. So does a full-robed Christianity add to definiteness of knowledge the outreach of imagination and home.”
