O man, I beseech you do not treat God's promises as if they were curiosities for a museum; but use them as every day sources of comfort. Trust the Lord whenever your time of need comes on.

Many men owe the grandeur of their lives to their tremendous difficulties.

A village is a hive of glass, where nothing unobserved can pass.

Our griefs cannot mar the melody of our praise, we reckon them to be the bass part of our life's song, 'He hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad.'

It is said that our anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strength.

Your emptiness is but the preparation for your being filled, and your casting down is but the making ready for your lifting up.

Holy service in constant fellowship with God is heaven below
