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.

LET A MAN THINK AND CARE ever so little about God, he does not therefore exist without God. God is here with him, upholding, warming, delighting, teaching him-making life a good thing to him. God gives him himself, though the man knows it not.

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

My prayers, my God, flow from what I am not; I think thy answers make me what I am.

In low theologies, hell is invariably the deepest truth, and the love of God is not so deep as hell.

Afflictions are but the shadows of God's wings.

To try to be brave is to be brave.
