As long as we think we own anything, that thing owns us. As soon as we know that we own nothing, then God owns us.

Let a man set his heart only on doing the will of God and he is instantly free. If we understand our first and sole duty to consist of loving God supremely and loving everyone, even our enemies, for God's dear sake, then we can enjoy spiritual tranquility under every circumstance.

The spiritual man habitually makes eternity-judgments instead of time-judgments. By faith he rises above the tug of earth and the flow of time and learns to think and feel as one who has already left the world and gone to join the innumerable company of angels and the general assembly and Church of the First-born which are written in heaven. Such a man would rather be useful than famous and would rather serve than be served. And all this must be by the operation of the Holy Spirit within him. No man can become spiritual by himself. Only the free Spirit can make a man spiritual.

To pray without expectation is to misunderstand the whole concept of prayer and relationship with God.

God is looking for those with whom He can do the impossible - what a pity that we plan only the things that we can do by ourselves.

As the excellence of steel is strength, and the excellence of art is beauty, so the excellence of mankind is moral character.

The body becomes stronger as its members become healthier. The whole church of God gains when the members that compose it begin to seek a better and a higher life.
