Affliction hardens those whom it does not soften.
By perseverance the snail reached the ark.
If heaven were by merit, it would never be heaven to me, for if I were in it I should say, "I am sure I am here by mistake; I am sure this is not my place; I have no claim to it." But if it be of grace and not of works, then we may walk into heaven with boldness.
When your will is God's will, you will have your will.
Train your child in the way in which you know you should have gone yourself.
There is no reward from God to those who seek it from men.
