I am satisfied, for I awake in Thy likeness.

Every sin is a mistake, as well as a wrong; and the epitaph for the sinner is, "Thou fool!"

The cup which my Saviour giveth me, can it be anything but a cup of salvation?

Man's course begins in a garden, but it ends in a city.

The true confidence which is faith in Christ, and the true diffidence which is utter distrust of myself--are identical.

Do not let the empty cup be your first teacher of the blessings you had when it was full. Do not let a bard place here and there in the bed destroy your rest. Seek, as a plain duty, to cultivate a buoyant, joyous sense of the crowded kindnesses of God in your daily life.

True peace comes not from the absence of trouble, but from the presence of God and will be deep and passing all understanding in the exact measure in which we live in and partake of the love of God.
