More From Gabriel Marcel

Making people laugh is one of the highest achievements you can have. and when you can make someone laugh and cry, alternatively, as chaplin does - now that's the highest of all personal achievements. i don't know that i aim for it, but i recognize it as the supreme goal.

Christian life is not a life divided between times for action and times for contemplation. no. real social action is a way of contemplation, and real contemplation is the core of social action.

But tell me: how did gold get to be the highest value? because it is uncommon and useless and gleaming and gentle in its brilliance; it always gives itself. only as an image of the highest virtue did gold get to be the highest value. the giver's glance gleams like gold. a golden brilliance concludes peace between the moon and the sun. uncommon is the highest virtue and useless, it is gleaming and gentle in its brilliance: a gift-giving virtue is the highest virtue.

I understood how a man who has nothing left in this world may still know bliss, be it only for a brief moment, in the contemplation of his beloved. in a position of utter desolation, when a man cannot express himself in positive action, when his only achievement may consist in enduring his sufferings in the right way - an honorable way - in such a position man can, through loving contemplation of the image he carries of his beloved, achieve fulfillment.

The ultimate difference between god's wisdom and man's wisdom is how they relate to the glory of god's grace in christ crucified. god's wisdom makes the glory of god's grace our supreme treasure. but man's wisdom delights in seeing himself as resourceful, self-sufficient, self determining, and not utterly dependent on god's free grace.
