No man ever made himself to live. No preacher, however earnest, can make one hearer to live. No parent, however prayerful, no teacher, however tearful, can make a child live unto God. “You hath HE quickened,” is true of all who are quickened.

Beware of no man more than of yourself; we carry our worst enemies within us.

Must is a hard nut to crack, but it has a sweet kernel.

Satan always hates Christian fellowship; it is his policy to keep Christians apart. Anything which can divide saints from one another he delights in. He attaches far more importance to godly intercourse than we do. Since union is strength, he does his best to promote separation.

Some ministers would make good martyrs: they are so dry they would burn well.

Prayer meetings are the throbbing machinery of the church.
