The light that shines farthest shines brightest nearest home.

True religion is like the smallpox. If you get it, you give it to others and it spreads.

Some wish to live within the sound of a chapel bell, I want to run a rescue shop within a yard of Hell.

Real Christians revel in desperate ventures for Christ, expecting from God great things and attempting the same with exhilaration.

For five years we never went outside our doors without a volley of curses from our neighbours.

Cease your insults to God, quit consulting flesh and blood. Stop your lame, lying, and cowardly excuses. Enlist!

Send us people with initiative, who can carry themselves and others too; such as need to be carried hamper the work and weaken those who should be spending their strength on the heathen. Weaklings should be nursed at home! If any have jealousy, prides, or talebearing traits lurking about them, do not send them, nor any who are prone to criticize. Send only Pauls and Timothys; men who are full of zeal, holiness and power. All others are hindrances. If you send us ten such men the work will be done.
