How on the face of the earth could a man enjoy his religion, when he had been told by the Lord how to prepare for a day of famine, when, instead of doing so, he had fooled away that which would have sustained him and his family.

Our enemies are our evil deeds and their memories, our pride, our selfishness, our malice, our passions, which by conscience or by habit pursue us with a relentlessness past the power of figure to express.

If we have a heart for the magnitudes of life, it will not seem vain to believe that God Himself should guard it.

The heart which finds life in material wealth is usually certain to go farther and seek for more in the satisfaction of base and sullen appetites.

Lives are changed by a moment's listening to conscience, by a single and quiet inclination of the mind.

Jesus Christ tells us that a man cannot be wrong if he argues towards God from what he finds best in himself.

Power and position often make a man trifle with the truth.
