There is no form of sinfulness to which you are addicted which Christ cannot remove.

We need winds and tempests to exercise our faith, to tear off the rotten bough of self-dependence, and to root us more firmly in Christ. The day of evil reveals to us the value of our glorious hope.

When I am weak then am I strong, Grace is my shield and Christ my Song.

Nothing is improved by anger, unless it be the arch of a cat's back. A man with his back up is spoiling his figure. People look none the handsomer for being red in the face. It takes a great deal out of a man to get into a towering rage; it is almost as unhealthy as having a fit. . . . Whatever wrong I suffer, it can not do me half so much hurt as being angry about it.

Nobody can do as much damage to the church of God as the man who is within its walls, but not within its life.

Giving is true loving.

Music is at its best when it is pleasingly melancholic.
