God works, and therefore we work; God is with- us, and therefore we are with God, and stand on His side.

Sometimes a fog will settle over a vessel's deck and yet leave the topmast clear. Then a sailor goes up aloft and gets a lookout which the helmsman on deck cannot get. So prayer sends the soul aloft; lifts it above the clouds in which our selfishness and egotism befog us, and gives us a chance to see which way to steer.

You have no time for the prayer meeting, but you have time enough to be brushing your hair to all eternity; you have no time to bend your knee, but plenty of time to make yourselves look smart and grand.

You cannot make a sinner into a saint by killing him. He who does not live as a saint here will never live as a saint hereafter.

The repetition of small efforts will accomplish more than the occasional use of great talents.
