Friendship is one of the sweetest joys of life. Many might have failed beneath the bitterness of their trial had they not found a friend.

To become a man was something, but to become a man of sorrows was far more; to bleed, and die, and suffer.

Faith goes up the stairs that love has built and looks out the windows which hope has opened.

Let no knowledge satisfy but that which lifts above the world, which weans from the world, which makes the world a footstool.

A man who fears not God, will break all his laws with an easy conscience, but one who is the favorite of heaven, who has been indulged to sit at royal banquets, who knows the eternal love of God to him, cannot bear that there should be any evil way in him that might grieve the Spirit and bring dishonor to the name of Christ. A very little sin, as the world calls it, is a very great sin to a truly awakened Christian.

Our joy ends where love of the world begins.

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