It is to the man who is trying to live, to the man who is obedient to the word of the Master, that the word of the Master unfolds itself.

Friends, if we be honest with ourselves, we shall be honest with each other.

When we are out of sympathy with the young, then I think our work in this world is over

The love of our neighbor is the only door out of the dungeon of self.

No words can express how much the world owes to sorrow. Most of the Psalms were born in the wilderness. Most of the Epistles were written in a prison. The greatest thoughts of the greatest thinkers have all passed through fire. The greatest poets have "learned in suffering what they taught in song." In bonds Bunyan lived the allegory that he afterwards wrote, and we may thank Bedford Jail for the Pilgrim's Progress. Take comfort, afflicted Christian! When God is about to make pre-eminent use of a person, He put them in the fire.

Anything big enough to occupy our minds is big enough to hang a prayer on.
