Pride comes from not knowing yourself and the world. The older you grow, and the more you see, the less reason you will find for being proud. Ignorance and inexperience are the pedestal of pride; once the pedestal is removed - pride will soon come down.

If we would be sanctified, our course is clear and plain—we must begin with Christ. We must go to him as sinners, with no plea but that of utter need, and cast our souls on him by faith, for peace and reconciliation with God.... If we would grow in holiness and become more sanctified, we must continually go on as we began, and be ever making fresh applications to Christ.

A right knowledge of sin lies at the root of all saving Christianity.

Love should be the silver thread that runs through all your conduct.

Let it be a settled principle in our minds that the first and chief business of the Church of Christ is to preach the Gospel.

Tomorrow is the devil's day, but today is God's. Satan does not care how spiritual your intentions are, or how holy your resolutions, if only they are determined to be done tomorrow.

The only way to be really happy in such a world as this, is to be ever casting all our cares on God.
