Justification by faith alone, is the hinge upon which the whole of Christianity turns

Our holiness is an effect, not a cause; so long as our eyes are on our own personal whiteness as an end in itself, the thing breaks down.

Our calling is not primarily to be holy women, but to work for God and for others with Him.

That however advanced any man may 'be-in' age or piety, he is still in danger of falling.

I have never thought that the circumstance of God's having forgiven me was any reason why I should forgive myself.

We shall do well ever to remember, that Christianity is not a mere speculative theory, that is to inform the mind; but a great practical lesson, to renew the heart, and to bring us back to the state from whence we are fallen.

With this sweet hope of ultimate acceptance with God, I have always enjoyed much cheerfulness before men; but I have at the same time laboured incessantly to cultivate the deepest humiliation before God.
