Whatever you read, read the Bible first. Beware of bad books: there are plenty in this day. Take heed what you read.

Nothing perhaps affects man's character more than the company he keeps

Let your Christianity be so unmistakable, your eye so single, your heart so whole, your walk so straightforward, that all who see you may have no doubt whose you are, and whom you serve.

For my own part, I believe that in dealing with skeptics, and unbelievers, and enemies of the Bible, Christians are too apt to stand only on the defensive. They are too often content with answering this or that little objection, or discussing this or that little difficulty, which is picked out of Scripture and thrown in their teeth. I believe we ought to act on the aggressive far more than we do, and to press home on the adversaries of [Biblical] inspiration the enormous difficulties of their own position.

Health is a good thing; but sickness is far better, if it leads us to God.

I fear we are in danger of forgetting that to HAVE the Bible is one thing, and to READ it quite another.

There is but one fountain of comfort for a man drawing near to his end, and that is the Bible. ...All comfort from any other source is a house built upon sand.
