May your character not be a writing upon the sand, but an inscription upon the rock!

I am no preacher of the old legal Sabbath. I am a preacher of the gospel. The Sabbath of the Jew is to him a task; the Lord's Day of the Christian, the first day of the week, is to him a joy, a day of rest, of peace, and of thanksgiving. And if you Christian men can earnestly drive away all distractions, so that you can really rest today, it will be good for your bodies, good for your souls, good mentally, good spiritually, good temporally, and good eternally.

The old, old gospel is the newest thing in the world; in its very essence it is for ever good news.

Nothing teaches us about the preciousness of the Creator as much as when we learn the emptiness of everything else.

Great hearts can only be made by great troubles. Great faith must have great trials.

Backsliders begin with dusty Bibles and end with filthy garments.

Rest time is not waste time. It is economy to gather fresh strength... It is wisdom to take occasional furlough. In the long run, we shall do more by sometimes doing less.
