God will not go forth with that man who marches in his own strength

Oh, Brethren, it is sickening work to think of your cushioned seats, your chants, your anthems, your choirs, your organs, your gowns, and your bands, and I know not what besides, all made to be instruments of religious luxury, if not of pious dissipation, while ye need far more to be stirred up and incited to holy ardor for the propagation of the truth as it is in Jesus.

Those who do not hope cannot wait; but if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

The man who finds the ministry an easy life will also find that it will bring a hard death.

Stars may be seen from the bottom of a deep well, when they cannot be discerned from the top of a mountain. So are many things learned in adversity which the prosperous man [the man at ease] dreams not of.

If you would be holy, you must live close to Jesus.

No one knows who is listening, say nothing you would not wish put in the newspapers.
