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.

It has been well said that no man ever sank under the burden of the day. It is, when tomorrow's burden is added to the burden of today, that the weight is more than a man can bear. Never load yourselves so, my friends. If you find yourselves so loaded, at least remember this: it is your own doing, not God's. He begs you to leave the future to Him, and mind the present.

Half of the misery in the world comes from trying to look, instead of trying to be, what one is not.

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

But there is no veil like light--no adamantine armor against hurt like the truth.

Books are but dead bodies to you, and a library nothing but a catacomb!

In whatever man does without God, he must fail miserably, or succeed more miserably.
