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

In seasons of severe trial, the Christian has nothing on earth that he can trust to, and is therefore compelled to cast himself on God alone. When no human deliverance can avail, he must simply and entirely trust himself to the providence and care of God. Happy storm that wrecks a man on such a rock as this! O blessed hurricane that drives the soul to God--and God alone!

Great hearts can only be made by great troubles. The spade of trouble digs the reservoir of comfort deeper, and makes more room for consolation.

Be Godlike then; and in all ways and by all means so live that all may say of you, 'He has been with Jesus'.

It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.

The most effective sermons are those which make opposers of the Gospel bite their lips and gnash their teeth.

Humility is to make a right estimate of oneself. It is no humility for a man to think less of himself than he ought.
