The Lord gets his best soldiers out of the highlands of affliction.

Prayer pulls the rope below and the great bell rings above in the ears of God. Some scarcely stir the bell, for they pray so languidly. Others give but an occasional pluck at the rope. But he who wins with heaven is the man who grasps the rope boldly and pulls continuously, with all his might.

I would bear any affliction rather than be burdened with a guilty conscience.

The Christian is the most contented man in the world, but he is the least contented with the world.

We are not called to proclaim philosophy and metaphysics, but the simple gospel.
