Thankfulness makes much of little.

A high character might be produced, I suppose, by continued prosperity, but it has very seldom been the case. Adversity, however it may appear to be our foe, is our true friend; and, after a little acquaintance with it, we receive it as a precious thing - the prophecy of a coming joy. It should be no ambition of ours to traverse a path without a thorn or stone.

Prayer moves the arm that moves the world.

...the power of prayer can never be overrated. They who cannot serve God by preaching need not regret. If a man can but pray he can do anything. He who knows how to overcome with God in prayer has Heaven and earth at his disposal.

Whether we like it or not, asking is the rule of the kingdom

Nothing teaches us about the preciousness of the Creator as much as when we learn the emptiness of everything else.

Pardon ever follows sincere repentence.
