You will win as many souls as God gives you, but no one will be converted by your own power.

All the preaching in the world cannot make a man see the truth so long as his eyes are blinded.

The best worship that we ever render to God is far from perfect. Our praises, how faint and feeble they are! Our prayers, how wandering, how wavering they are! When we get nearest to God, how far off we are! When we are most like Him, how greatly unlike Him we are!

Every hour of every day, God is richly blessing us; both when we sleep and when we wake His mercy waits upon us.

Begin early to teach, for children begin early to sin.

Affliction hardens those whom it does not soften.

I am certain that to preach the wrath of God with a hard heart, a cold lip, a tearless eye, and an unfeeling spirit is to harden men, not benefit them.
