You must either give up your sins or give up all hope of heaven.

Right is right though all condemn, and wrong is wrong though all approve.

If you give your soul up to anything earthly, whether it be the wealth, or the honours, or the pleasures of this world, you might as well hunt after the mirage of the desert or try to collect the mists of the morning, or to store up for yourself the clouds of the sky, for all these things are passing away.

A holy life is in itself a wonderful power, and will make up for many deficiencies; it is in fact the best sermon a man can ever deliver.

There is nothing in the law of God that will rob you of happiness; it only denies you that which would cost you sorrow.

He who will not use the thoughts of other men's brains proves that he has no brains of his own.

As for His failing you, never dream of it -- hate the thought of it. The God who has been sufficient until now, should be trusted to the end.
