Think lightly of hell, and you will think lightly of the cross. Think little of the sufferings of lost souls, and you will soon think little of the Savior who delivers them.

The repetition of small efforts will accomplish more than the occasional use of great talents.

I always say to young fellows who consult me about the ministry, "Don't be a minister if you can help it," because if the man can help it, God never called him. But if he cannot help it, and he must preach or die, then he is the man.

The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him. If it were not for the laws of the land, we should soon see a massacre of the righteous. Jesus was watched by his enemies, who were thirsting for his blood: his disciples must not look for favour where their Master found hatred and death.

An unkind heart is the worst. It is a plague to its possessor, and a torment to those around him.

Faith obliterates time, annihilates distance, and brings future things at once into its possession.

When we cannot see the sunshine of God's face, it is blessed to cower down beneath the shadow of his wings.
