Above all I commend the study of Christ. Let Him be your library.

The child of God works not for life, but from life; he does not work to be saved, but works because he is saved

When filled with holy truth the mind rests.

There is nothing that will keep a person from Christ like a good opinion of himself.

Affliction is the best book in a minister's library.

It is not humility to underrate yourself. Humility is to think of yourself as God thinks of you. It is to feel that if we have talents God has given them to us. And let it be seen that, like freight in a vessel, they tend to sink us low. The more we have, the lower we ought to lie.

Who among you today is doing the most for your Master's kingdom? I will tell you. Lend me a spiritual thermometer by which I may try the heat of your heart, and I will tell you the amount of your success.
