Lord, let me find my life in thee, and not in the mire of this world's favour or gain.

The first link between my soul and Christ is not my goodness but my badness, not my merit but my misery, not my riches but my need.

Our Lord Jesus is ever giving, and does not for a solitary instant withdraw his hand. As long as there is a vessel of grace not yet full to the brim, the oil shall not be stayed. He is a sun ever-shining; he is manna always falling round the camp; he is a rock in the desert, ever sending out streams of life from his smitten side; the rain of his grace is always dropping; the river of his bounty is ever-flowing, and the well-spring of his love is constantly overflowing.

A vile imagination, once indulged, gets the key of our minds, and can get in again very easily, whether we will or no, and can so return as to bring seven other spirits with it more wicked than itself; and what may follow no one knows.

We should shun ingratitude, and live daily in the heavenly atmosphere of thankful love.

You'll never be a winner of souls unless you're first a weeper for souls.

Begin early to teach, for children begin early to sin.
