He makes those just who are unjust, forgives those who deserve to be punished, and favors those who deserve no favor.

We are in hot haste to set the world right and to order all affairs; the Lord hath the leisure of conscious power and unerring wisdom, and it will be well for us to learn to wait.

When men talk of a little hell it's because they think they have only a little sin and believe in a little Savior.

Our misery is that we thirst so little for these sublime things, and so much for the mocking trifles of time and space.

Oh, my brothers and sisters in Christ, if sinners will be damned, at least let them leap to hell over our bodies; and if they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees, imploring them to stay, and not madly to destroy themselves. If hell must be filled, at least let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go there unwarned and unprayed for.

Children will imitate their fathers in their vices, seldom in their repentance.

Hope sees a crown in reserve, mansions in readiness, and Jesus Himself preparing a place for us, and by the rapturous sight she sustains the soul under the sorrows of the hour.
