We can often do more for other men by trying to correct our own faults than by trying to correct theirs.

Do we accustom ourselves to see all things in the light of faith? Do we correct all our judgments by it? Alas! The greater part of Christians think and act like mere heathens; if we judge (as we justly may) of their faith by their practice, we must conclude they have no faith at all.

Let gratitude for the past inspire us with trust for the future.

Time is given us that we may take care for eternity; and eternity will not be too long to regret the loss of our time if we have misspent it.

Most people I ask little from. I try to give them much, and expect nothing in return and I do very well in the bargain.

No human power can force the intrenchments of the human mind: compulsion never persuades; it only makes hypocrites.

There is never any peace for those who resist God.
