If you do not feel a fervent love and profound pity for humanity, be assured that the gift of Christian eloquence has been denied you. You will not win souls, neither will you acquire that most excellent of earthly sovereignties - sovereignty over human hearts....Love is irresistible.

A holy life will produce the deepest impression. Lighthouses blow no horns; they only shine.

Some men’s prayers need to be cut short at both ends and set on fire in the middle.

It is the only happy life to live for the salvation of souls.

The reward of service is more service.

Character is what a man is in the dark.

It may be that at this moment every battlement of heaven is alive with the redeemed. There is a sainted mother watching for her daughter. Have you no response to that long hushed voice which has prayed for you so often? And for you, young man, are there no voices there that have prayed for you? And are there none whom you promised once to meet again, if not on earth, in heaven?
