If we will but let our God and Father work His will with us, there can be no limit to His enlargement of our existence

The truly wise talk little about religion and are not given to taking sides on doctrinal issues. When they hear people advocating or opposing the claims of this or that party in the church, they turn away with a smile such as men yield to the talk of children. They have no time, they would say, for that kind of thing. They have enough to do in trying to faithfully practice what is beyond dispute.

Man finds it hard to get what he wants, because he does not want the best; God finds it hard to give, because He would give the best, and man will not take it.

A man may sink by such slow degrees that, long after he is a devil, he may go on being a good churchman or a good dissenter and thinking himself a good Christian.

There are things that must be done in faith, else they never have being.

The greatest forces lie in the region of the uncomprehended.

But I begin to think the chief difficulty in writing a book must be to keep out what does not belong to it.
