Woe to that man who runs when God has not sent him; and woe to him who refuses to run, or who ceases to run, when God has sent him.

Remember that the word of God is not sent to particular persons, as if by name; and do not think you have no part in it, because you are not named there.

All abuse and waste of God's creatures are spoil and robbery on the property of the Creator.

As preachers of the gospel of Jesus, do not expect worldly honors: these Jesus Christ neither took to himself, nor gave to his disciples.

There is no such thing as chance or accident; the words merely signify our ignorance of some real and immediate cause.

Prayer is not designed to inform God, but to give man a sight of his misery; to humble man's heart, to excite his desire, to inflame his faith, to animate his hope, to raise his soul from earth to heaven.

Prayer requires more of the heart than of the tongue.
