Ah, what is it we send up thither, where our thoughts are either a dissonance or a sweetness and a grace?

The word doctrine, as used in the Bible, means teaching of duty, not theory.

A true friend is forever a friend.

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.

Those are not the tears of repentance!... Self-loathing is not sorrow. Yet it is good, for it marks a step in the way home, and in the father's arms the prodigal forgets the self he abominates.

You would not think any duty small, If you yourself were great.

We must do the thing we must Before the thing we may; We are unfit for any trust Till we can and do obey.
