A sin...consists in doing, saying, thinking, or imagining anything that is not in perfect conformity with the mind and law of God

Happiness does not depend on outward circumstances, but on the state of the heart.

One single soul saved shall outlive and outweigh all the kingdoms of the world.

The last day will prove that some of the holiest men that ever lived are hardly known.

Next to praying there is nothing so important in practical religion as Bible-reading.

Laughter, ridicule, opposition, persecution, are often the only reward which Christ's followers get from the world.

Bibles read without prayer; sermons heard without prayer; marriages contracted without prayer; journeys undertaken without prayer; residences chosen without prayer; friendships formed without prayer; the daily act of prayer itself hurried over, or gone through without heart: these are the kind of downward steps by which many a Christian descends to a condition of spiritual palsy, or reaches the point where God allows them to have a tremendous fall.
