The doing of things from duty is but a stage on the road to the kingdom of truth and love.

It's right to trust in God; but, if you don't stand to your halliards your craft'll miss stays, and your faith'll be blown out of the bolt-ropes in the turn of a marlinspike.

The first thing in all progress is to leave something behind.

Timely service, like timely gifts, is doubled in value.

To give truth to him who loves it not is but to give him more plentiful material for misinterpretation.

I firmly believe people have hitherto been a great deal too much taken up about doctrine and far too little about practice. The word "doctrine," as used in the Bible, means teaching of duty, not theory.

Do not measure God's mind by your own.
