It is by loving and not by being loved that one can come nearest to the soul of another.

The kingdom of heaven is not come even when God's will is our law; it is fully come when God's will is our will.

Love me, beloved; Hades and Death Shall vanish away like a frosty breath; These hands, that now are at home in thine, Shall clasp thee again, if thou art still mine; And thou shalt be mine, my spirit's bride, In the ceaseless flow of eternity's tide, If the truest love thy heart can know Meet the truest love that from mine can flow. Pray God, beloved, for thee and me, That our sourls may be wedded eternally.

There are thousands willing to do great things for one willing to do a small thing.

Afflictions are but the shadows of God's wings.

If God were not only to hear our prayers, as he does ever and always, but to answer them as we want them answered, he would not be God our Saviour but the ministering genius of our destruction.

It is our best work that God wants, not the dregs of our exhaustion. I think he must prefer quality to quantity.
