The first thing in faith is knowledge. What we know we must also agree unto. What we agree unto we must rest upon alone for salvation. It will not save me to know that Christ is a Saviour; but it will save me to trust Him to be my Saviour.

If you give your soul up to anything earthly, whether it be the wealth, or the honours, or the pleasures of this world, you might as well hunt after the mirage of the desert or try to collect the mists of the morning, or to store up for yourself the clouds of the sky, for all these things are passing away.

God helps those who cannot help themselves.

The grace of the spirit comes only from heaven, and lights up the whole bodily presence.

When you speak of heaven, let your face light up...When you speak of hell well then, your everyday face will do.

Luck generally comes to those who look for it, and my notion is that it taps, once in a lifetime, at everybody's door, but if industry does not open it luck goes away.

If you are renewed by grace, and were to meet your old self, I am sure you would be very anxious to get out of his company.
