In trying to count our many blessings the difficulty is not to find things to count, but to find time to enumerate them all.

All things else being equal, our prayers are only as powerful as our lives. In the long pull we only pray as well as we live.

Prayer is always in danger of degenerating into a glorified gold rush. How to get things from God occupies most [books].

In the Bible, the race of life is never considered from the viewpoint of speed... We are to run it with patience.

The faith of Christ offers no buttons to push for quick service. The new order must wait the Lord's own time, and that is too much for the man in a hurry. He just gives up and becomes interested in something else.

God answers our prayers not because we are good, but because He is good.

The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God.
