Nothing but grace makes a man so humble and, at the same time, so glad.

Be not proud of race, face, place, or grace.

It is a good rule never to look into the face of a man in the morning till you have looked into the face of God.

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.

When the pangs shoot through our body, and ghastly death appears in view, people see the patience of the dying Christian. Our infirmities become the black velvet on which the diamond of God's love glitters all the more brightly. Thank God I can suffer ! Thank God I can be made the object of shame and contempt, for in this way God shall be glorified.

You cannot be Christ’s servant if you are not willing to follow him, cross and all. What do you crave? A crown? Then it must be a crown of thorns if you are to be like him. Do you want to be lifted up? So you shall, but it will be upon a cross.

Hope itself is like a star- not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only to be discovered in the night of adversity.
