Deep theology is the best fuel of devotion; it readily catches fire, and once kindled it burns long.

Kindness has converted more sinners than either zeal, eloquence, or learning; and these three last have never converted any.

Poor human nature cannot do everything; and kindness is too often left uncultivated, because men do not sufficiently understand its value. Men may be charitable, yet not kind; merciful, yet not kind; self-denying, yet not kind. If they would add a little common kindness to their uncommon graces, they would convert ten where they now only abate the prejudice of one.

Kind words produce happiness. How often have we ourselves been made happy by kind words, in a manner and to an extent which we are unable to explain!

The music of the Gospel leads us home.

Many a friendship - long, loyal, and self-sacrificing - rested at first upon no thicker a foundation than a kind word.

God always fills in all hearts all the room which is left Him there.
