The more of heaven there is in our lives, the less of earth we shall covet.

I believe that one reason why the church of God at this present moment has so little influence over the world is because the world has so much influence over the church.

If there existed only one man or woman who did not love the Saviour, and if that person lived among the wilds of Siberia, and if it were necessary that all the millions of believers on the face of the earth should journey there, and every one of them plead with him to come to Jesus before he could be converted, it would be well worth all the zeal, labour, and expense. If we had to preach to thousands year after year, and never rescued but one soul, that one soul would be full reward for all our labour, for a soul is of countless price.

Anger does a man more hurt than that which made him angry.

The greatest works are done by the ones. The hundreds do not often do much-the companies never; it is the units-the single individuals, that are the power and the might. Individual effort is, after all, the grand thing.

The old, old gospel is the newest thing in the world; in its very essence it is for ever good news.

I am throwing all my good works overboard, and lashing myself to the plank of free grace; for I hope to swim to glory on it.
