Many a text [of Scripture] is written in a secret ink which must be held to the fire of adversity to make it visible.

None are more unjust in their judgments of others than those who have a high opinion of themselves.

Consume all obstacles, heavenly fire, and give us now both hearts of flame and tongues of fire to preach Your reconciling word, for Jesus' sake

Wash your face every morning in a bath of praise.

Beloved Friends, we may well continue to praise God, for our God continues to give us causes for praise!

However little we may be, if we are the Lord's, we may rejoice that we are preserved in Christ Jesus.

If we are indeed contending for truth and righteousness, let us not tarry till we have talent, or wealth, or any other form of visible power at our disposal; but with such stones as we find in the brook, and with our own usual sling, let us run to meet the enemy.
