Let us measure ourselves by our Master, and not by our fellow-servants : then pride will be impossible.

The best way to live above all fear of death is to die every morning before you leave your bedroom.

Time is short. Eternity is long. It is only reasonable that this short life be lived in the light of eternity.

Christian, take good care of thy faith; for recollect faith is the only way whereby thou canst obtain blessings. If we want blessings from God, nothing can fetch them down but faith.

Affliction hardens those whom it does not soften.
