I never prayed sincerely and earnestly for anything but it came at some time; no matter at how distant a day, somehow, in some shape, probably the least I would have devised, it came.

If I had not felt certain that every additional trial was ordered by infinite love and mercy, I could not have survived my accumulated suffering.

God answers all true prayer, either in kind or in kindness.

There is no success without sacrifice. If you succeed without sacrifice it is because someone has suffered before you. If you sacrifice without success it is because someone will succeed after.

I feel it is my duty to plod on, while daylight shall last.

Let me beg you, not to rest contented with the commonplace religion that is now so prevalent.

Our prayers run along one road and God's answers by another, and by and by they meet.
