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

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.

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

Nail the colours to the mast! That is the right thing to do, and, therefore, that is what we must do, and do it now. What colours? The colours of Christ, the work He has given us to do- the evangelization of all the unevangelized.

My only joys therefore are that when God has given me a work to do, I have not refused it.

If Jesus Christ be God and died for me, then no sacrifice can be too great for me to make for Him.

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