I would have no desire other than to accomplish thy will. Teach me to pray; pray thyself in me.

Exactness and neatness in moderation is a virtue, but carried to extremes narrows the mind.

Of all the duties enjoined by Christianity none is more essential and yet more neglected than prayer.

How dangerous it is for our salvation, how unworthy of God and of ourselves, how pernicious even for the peace of our hearts, to want always to stay where we are! Our whole life was only given us to advance us by great strides toward our heavenly country.

Good taste rejects excessive nicety.

No more restless uncertainties, no more anxious desires, no more impatience at the place we are in; for it is God who has placed us there, and who holds us in his arms. Can we be unsafe where he has placed us?

Those who are wholly God's are always happy.
