Without Christ there is no hope.

We are not called to proclaim philosophy and metaphysics, but the simple gospel.

Come my, heart, up and away!

May your convictions be deep, your love real, and your desires earnest

Above all I commend the study of Christ. Let Him be your library.

Many a text [of Scripture] is written in a secret ink which must be held to the fire of adversity to make it visible.

Every growth of spiritual life, from the first tender shoot until now, has been the work of the Holy Spirit.... The only way to more life is the Holy Spirit. You will not even know that you want more unless He works in you to desire it.... The Spirit of God must come and make the letter alive, transfer it to your heart, set it on fire, and make it burn within you, or else its divine force and majesty will be hid from your eyes.... Prayer is the creation of the Holy Spirit. We cannot do without prayer, and we cannot pray without the Holy Spirit.
