God is to be praised with the voice, and the heart should go therewith in holy exultation.

If a man can preach one sermon without mentioning Christ's name in it, it ought to be his last.

God's mercy is so great that you may sooner drain the sea of its water, or deprive the sun of its light, or make space too narrow, than diminish the great mercy of God.

Doth not all nature around me praise God? If I were silent, I should be an exception to the universe. Doth not the thunder praise Him as it rolls like drums in the march of the God of armies? Do not the mountains praise Him when the woods upon their summits wave in adoration? Doth not the lightning write His name in letters of fire? Hath not the whole earth a voice? And shall I, can I, silent be?

I know of nothing which I would choose to have as the subject of my ambition for life than to be kept faithful to my God till death.

Let gratitude be awakened; let humility be deepened; let love be quickened.

I am convinced that there is no great distance between heaven and earth, that the distance lies in our finite minds. When the Beloved visits us in the night, He turns our chambers into the vestibules of His palace halls. Earth rises to heaven when heaven comes down to earth.
