Habits of prayer need careful cultivation.

We never get so near God as when we plead for others.

Consecration is only possible when we give up our will about EVERYTHING.

I used to think that God's gifts were on shelves one above the other and that the taller we grew in Christian character, the more easily we should reach them. I find now that God's gifts are on shelves one beneath the other and that is not a question of growing taller, but of stooping lower and that we have to go down, always down to get His best ones.

Do not look down, brooding over your weakness! Do not look back upon your past, strewn with failure! Look up to the living Christ!

The passing of the years awakens in our hearts the cry for permanence.

The quiet life is by no means the greatest life. Some characters can only reach the highest standard of spirituality by the disturbings or displacings in the order of God's providence.
