There is hardship in everything except eating pancakes.

Reckon then that to acquire soul-winning power, you will have to go through mental torment and soul distress. You must go into the fire if you are going to pull others out of it, and you will have to dive into the floods if you are going to draw others out of the water. You cannot work a fire escape without feeling the scorch of the conflagration, nor man a lifeboat without being covered with the waves.

Persecution is the heirloom of the church, and the ensign of the elect.

What is needed is not the removal of the trouble but the conquest of self.
