If you want the truth to go round the world you must hire an express train to pull it; but if you want a lie to go round the world it will fly; it is as light as a feather, and a breath will carry it.

If your religion does not make you holy, it will damn you. It is simply painted pageantry to go to hell in.

The more holy a man becomes, the more conscious he is of unholiness.

To me the Bible is not God, but it is God's voice, and I do not hear it without awe

Prayer is the slender nerve that moves the muscle of omnipotence.

Lost! Lost! Lost! Better a whole world on fire than a soul lost! Better every star quenched and the skies a wreck than a single soul to be lost!

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.
