The old truth that Calvin preached, that Augustine preached, that Paul preached, is the truth that I must preach to-day, or else be false to my conscience and my God. I cannot shape the truth; I know of no such thing as paring off the rough edges of a doctrine. John Knox's gospel is my gospel. That which thundered through Scotland must thunder through England again.

If we complained less, and praised more, we should be happier, and God would be more glorified.

If we want revivals, we must revive our reverence for the Word of God.

Trust Christ, but do not trust yourself

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

I had rather be poor in His service than rich in my own.

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.
