All earthly suns have their spots: the fair world itself has its wilderness. We cannot love the whole of most lovely things: but Christ Jesus is gold without alloy-light without darkness- glory without cloud. 'Yea, He is altogether lovely.'

There is no other salvation except that which begins and ends with grace.

To know is not to be wise. To know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.

Do not wade far out into the dangerous sea of this world's comfort. Take the good that God provides you, but say of it, "It passeth away;" for, indeed, it is but a temporary supply for a temporary need. Never suffer your goods to become your God.

There are no infidels anywhere but on earth: there are none in heaven, and there are none in hell. Atheism is a strange thing.

It is well said that neglected prayer is the birth-place of all evil.

The church may go through her dark ages, but Christ is with her in the midnight; she may pass through her fiery furnace, but Christ is in the midst of the flame with her.
