A child's cry touches a father's heart.

When the heart is full of joy, it always allows its joy to escape. It is like the fountain in the marketplace; whenever it is full it runs away in streams, and so soon as it ceases to overflow, you may be quite sure that it has ceased to be full. The only full heart is the overflowing heart.

Some ministers would make good martyrs: they are so dry they would burn well.

The man who finds the ministry an easy life will also find that it will bring a hard death.

The disciples of a patient Saviour should be patient themselves.

It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.

Faith is believing that Christ is what he is said to be, and that he will do what he has promised to do, and then to expect this of him.
