I write, not for children,but for the child-like, whether they be of five, or fifty, or seventy-five.

I believe that no hell will be lacking which would help the just mercy of God to redeem his children.

He may delay because it would not be safe to give us at once what we ask: we are not ready for it. To give ere we could truly receive, would be to destroy the very heart and hope of prayer, to cease to be our Father. The delay itself may work to bring us nearer to our help, to increase the desire, perfect the prayer, and ripen the receptive condition.

By all means rid yourself of an impoverished faith.

We are often unable to tell people what they need to know, because they want to know something else, and would therefore only misunderstand what we said.

People must not choose their neighbors; they must take the neighbors that God sends them. The neighbor is just the person who is next to you at the moment, the person with whom any business has brought you into contact.

Affliction is but the shadow of God's wing.
