There are two sins of men that are bred in the bone and that continually come out in the flesh. One is self-dependence and the other is self-exultation.

Let your thoughts be psalms, your prayers incense, and your breath praise.

Complicity with error will take from the best of men the power to enter any successful protest against it.

It is not humility to underrate yourself. Humility is to think of yourself as God thinks of you. It is to feel that if we have talents God has given them to us. And let it be seen that, like freight in a vessel, they tend to sink us low. The more we have, the lower we ought to lie.

Intercessory prayer is an act of communion with Christ, for Jesus pleads for the sons of men.

The saints are sinners still. Our best tears need to be wept over, the strongest faith is mixed with unbelief, our most flaming love is cold compared with what Jesus deserves, and our intensest zeal still lacks the full fervor which the bleeding wounds and pierced heart of the crucified might claim at our hands. Our best things need a sin offering, or they would condemn us.

There is no fatigue so wearisome as that which comes from lack of work.
