Thou art beautiful because God created thee, but thou art a slave to sin... wickedness has made you ugly.

Where there is no choice, we do well to make no difficulty.

God is the God of the animals in a far lovelier way, I suspect, than many of us dare to think, but he will not be the God of a man by making a good beast of him.

The mind of the many is not the mind of God.

Ambition is but the evil shadow of aspiration.

What God may hereafter require of you, you must not give yourself the least trouble about. Everything He gives you to do, you must do as well as ever you can, and that is the best possible preparation for what He may want you to do next. If people would but do what they have to do, they would always find themselves ready for what came next.

Past tears are present strength.
