Bread is a second cause; the LORD Himself is the first source of our sustenance. He can work without the second cause as well as with it; and we must not tie Him down to one mode of operation. Let us not be too eager after the visible, but let us look to the invisible God.

Let no knowledge satisfy but that which lifts above the world, which weans from the world, which makes the world a footstool.

You may fear that the Lord has passed you by, but it is not so: he who counts the stars, and calls them by their names, is in no danger of forgetting his own children. He knows your case as thoroughly as if you were the only creature he ever made, or the only saint he ever loved. Approach him and be at peace.

God works all things together for your good. If the waves roll against you, it only speeds your ship towards the port

Visit many good books, but live in the Bible.

The faith which saves is not one single act done on a certain day: it is an act continued and persevered in throughout the life of man.

My trust is not that I am holy, but that being unholy, he is my righteousness.
