I would go to the deeps a hundred times a cheer a downcast spirit.

Let no knowledge satisfy but that which lifts above the world, which weans from the world, which makes the world a footstool.

I saw a young sister, just before this service; and I said to her, "When did you find the Lord?" She replied, "It was when I was very ill." Yes, it is often so; God makes us ill in body that we may have time to think of Him, and turn to Him....What would become of some people if they were always in good health, or if they were always prospering? But tribulation is the black dog that goes after the stray sheep, and barks them back to the Good Shepherd. I thank God that there are such things as the visitations of correction and of holy discipline, to preserve our spirit, and bring us to Christ.

Prayer is the best response to hatred.

There should be a parallel between our supplications and our thanksgivings. We ought not to leap in prayer, and limp in praise.

I do not believe that any man can preach the gospel who does not preach the Law.

Hope sees a crown in reserve, mansions in readiness, and Jesus Himself preparing a place for us, and by the rapturous sight she sustains the soul under the sorrows of the hour.
