Mercy turns her back to the unmerciful.
The average person's ear weighs what you are, not what you were.
Think not thy love to God merits God's love to thee; His acceptance of thy duty crowns His own gifts in thee; man's love to God is nothing but a faint reflection of God's love to man.
I see no virtue where I smell no sweat.
Be wisely worldly, but not worldly wise.
No labor is hard, no time is long, wherein the glory of eternity is the mark we level at.
