The higher a man is in grace, the lower he will be in his own esteem.

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.

If you tell your troubles to God, you put them into the grave; they will never rise again when you have committed them to Him. If you roll your burden anywhere else, it will roll back again like the stone of Sisyphus.

No life can surpass that of a man who quietly continues to serve God in the place where providence has placed him.

Do not fret over your heavy troubles, for they are the heralds of weighty mercies.

The faith which saves is not one single act done on a certain day: it is an act continued and persevered in throughout the life of man.

Where God takes such pains to teach, we ought to be at pains to learn.
