Receive each day as a resurrection from death, as a new enjoyment of life.

If God is thy father, man is thy brother.

God delights to increase the faith of his children. We ought, instead of wanting no trials before victory, no exercise for patience, to be willing to take them from God's hands as a means. Trials, obstacles, difficulties, and sometimes defeats, are the very food of faith.

From heaven even the most miserable life will look like one bad night at an inconvenient hotel.

There are three stages in the work of God: Impossible; Difficult; Done.

We should never attempt to bear more than one kind of trouble at once. Some people bear three kinds - all they have had, all they have now, and all they expect to have.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery in today lays your chemistry for success.

In trouble to be troubled is to have your trouble doubled.

The devil loves to fish in troubled waters.

Hope, like faith, is nothing if it is not courageous; it is nothing if it is not ridiculous.

My only hope is that I shall be clothed with the righteousness of Jesus Christ.

We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope.

Do not look to your hope, but to Christ, the source of your hope.

Great hopes make great men.

Open wide the windows of our spirits and fill us full of light; open wide the door of our hearts, that we may receive and entertain Thee with all our powers of adoration.

A sacred regard to the authority of God ought to lead us to reject an error, however old, sanctioned by whatever authority, or however generally practiced.

Everyone may be entitled to his own opinion but everyone is not entitled to his own truth. Truth is but one.

A Church which abandons the truth abandons itself.

We know the truth, not only by the reason, but also by the heart.

He who gives you the day will also give you the things necessary for the day.

No pleasure is comparable to standing on the vantage-ground of truth.

We are saved to worship God. All that Christ has done for us in the past and all that he is doing now leads us to that one end.

The misfortunes hardest to bear are these which never came.

Our whole life is taken up with anxiety for personal security, with preparations for living, so that we really never live at all.

Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strength.

If Christ does not reign over the mundane events in our lives, He does not reign at all.

An undivided heart, which worships God alone and trusts him as it should, is raised above all anxiety for earthly wants.

Every act of kindness and compassion done by any man for his fellow Christian is done by Christ working within him.

Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom.

Kindness is the noblest weapon to conquer with.

Conquer evil men by your gentle kindness.

Train up a fig tree in the way it should go, and when you are old sit under the shade of it.

"There is only one way to bring up a child in the way he should go and that is to travel that way yourself."

"We take care of our possessions for our children. But of the children themselves we take no care at all. What an absurdity is this! Form the soul of thy son aright, and the rest will be added hereafter."
