I cannot tell you what joy it gave me to bring the first soul to the Lord Jesus Christ. I have tasted almost all the pleasures that this world can give. I do not suppose there is one that I have not experienced, but I can tell you that those pleasures were as nothing compared to the joy that the saving of that one soul gave me.

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

Christ wants not nibblers of the possible, but grabbers of the impossible.

The light that shines farthest shines brightest nearest home.

A good thing to have up your sleeve is a sanctified funny-bone.

Sometimes I feel... that my cross is heavy beyond endurance... My heart seems worn out and bruised beyond repair, and in my deep loneliness I often wish to be gone, but God knows best, and I want to do every ounce of work He wants me to do.

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