Too often we attempt to work for God to the limit of our incompetency, rather than to the limit of God's omnipotency.

There are three great truths, 1st, That there is a God; 2nd, That He has spoken to us in the Bible; 3rd, That He means what He says.

In nothing do we fail more, as a Mission, than in lack of tact and politeness.

All God's giants have been weak men who did great things for God because they reackoned on God being with them.

I have seen many men work without praying, though I have never seen any good come out of it; but I have never seen a man pray without working.

I myself, for instance, am not especially gifted, and am shy by nature, but my gracious and merciful God and Father inclined Himself to me, and when I was weak in faith He strengthened me while I was still young. He taught me in my helplessness to rest on Him, and to pray even about little things in which another might have felt able to help himself.

The real secret of an unsatisfied life lies too often in an unsurrendered will.
