I would not give much for your religion unless it can be seen. Lamps do not talk, but they do shine.

If you give your soul up to anything earthly, whether it be the wealth, or the honours, or the pleasures of this world, you might as well hunt after the mirage of the desert or try to collect the mists of the morning, or to store up for yourself the clouds of the sky, for all these things are passing away.

To Christ we are to be always coming; upon Him always relying; to His precious blood always looking.

It would be very difficult to draw a line between holy wonder and real worship; for when the soul is overwhelmed with the majesty of God's glory, though it may not express itself in song, or even utter its voice with bowed head and humble prayer, yet it silently adores.

Be thankful for the thorns and thistles, which keep you from being in love with this world, and becoming an idolater.

Let me be as the bullock which stands between the plough and the altar, to work or to be sacrificed; and let my motto be, "Ready for either".

Of all the things in the world that can set the heart burning, there is nothing like the presence of Jesus!
