Abhor all idea of being saved by good works, but O, be as full of good works as if you were to be saved by them!

In prosperity God is heard, and that is a blessing; but in adversity God is seen, and that is a greater blessing.

How gentle and tender ought we to be with others who are foolish when we remember how foolish we are ourselves

The grace that does not change my life will not save my soul.

I am convinced that there is no great distance between heaven and earth, that the distance lies in our finite minds. When the Beloved visits us in the night, He turns our chambers into the vestibules of His palace halls. Earth rises to heaven when heaven comes down to earth.

All earthly suns have their spots: the fair world itself has its wilderness. We cannot love the whole of most lovely things: but Christ Jesus is gold without alloy-light without darkness- glory without cloud. 'Yea, He is altogether lovely.'

May we live here like strangers and make the world not a house, but an inn, in which we sup and lodge, expecting to be on our journey tomorrow.
