Settle this in your heart: Whether I am up or down, the Lord Jesus is the same. Whether I sing or sigh, the promise is true and the Promiser is faithful. Whether I stand on the summit or am hidden in the vale the covenant stands fast and everlasting love abides.

I note that some whom I greatly love and esteem, who are, in my judgment, among the very choicest of God's people, nevertheless, travel most of the way to heaven by night.

When the time comes for you to die, you need not be afraid, because death cannot separate you from God's love.

Don't drown the man who taught you to swim. If you learned your trade or profession from the man, do not set up in opposition to him.

You cannot make a sinner into a saint by killing him. He who does not live as a saint here will never live as a saint hereafter.

A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble.

It is not great talents God blesses so much as likeness to Jesus.
