Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.

There is no arena in which vanity displays itself under such a variety of forms as in conversation.

At the centre of every human being is a God-shaped vacuum which can only be filled by Jesus Christ.

The mind naturally makes progress, and the will naturally clings to objects; so that for want of right objects, it will attach itself to wrong ones.

Eloquence is a painting of thought; and thus those who, after having painted it, add something more, make a picture instead of a portrait.

The mind has its arrangement; it proceeds from principles to demonstrations. The heart has a different mode of proceeding.

It is the conduct of God, who disposes all things kindly, to put religion into the mind by reason, and into the heart by grace.
