When all else is changing within and around, in God and His mercy no change can be found.

Never lose heart in the power of the gospel.

The best style of prayer is that which cannot be called anything else but a cry.

Money gained on Sabbath-day is a loss, I dare to say. No blessing can come with that which comes to us, on the devil's back, by our willful disobedience of God's law. The loss of health by neglect of rest, and the loss of soul by neglect of hearing the gospel, soon turn all seeming profit into real loss.

In heaven we shall see that we had not one trial too many.

Nothing is improved by anger, unless it be the arch of a cat's back. A man with his back up is spoiling his figure. People look none the handsomer for being red in the face. It takes a great deal out of a man to get into a towering rage; it is almost as unhealthy as having a fit. . . . Whatever wrong I suffer, it can not do me half so much hurt as being angry about it.

If your religion does not make you holy, it will damn you. It is simply painted pageantry to go to hell in.
