Greatness lies not in being strong, but in the right use of strength.

God's men are better than the devil's men, and they ought to act as though they thought they were.

The little troubles and worries of life may be as stumbling blocks in our way, or we may make them stepping-stones to a nobler character and to Heaven. Troubles are often the tools by which God fashions us for better things.

Fear is the soul's signal for rallying.

I think half the troubles for which men go slouching in prayer to God are caused by their intolerable pride. Many of our cares are but a morbid way of looking at our privileges. We let our blessings get mouldy, and then call them curses.

Reason is a permanent blessing of God to the soul. Without it there can be no large religion.

Never forget what a person says to you when they are angry.
