God has linked holiness and happiness; and what God has joined together we must not think to put asunder.

People will never set their faces decidedly towards heaven, and live like pilgrims, until they really feel that they are in danger of hell.

The highest form of selfishness is that of the man who is content to go to heaven alone.
