Pride is the oldest and most common of sins. Humility is the rarest and most beautiful of graces.

Two-thirds of all the strifes, quarrels, and lawsuits in the world arise from one simple cause-money.

Where no visible fruit can be found, there you may be sure is no conversion.

If we are true Christians, we must not expect everything smooth in our journey to heaven. We must count it no strange thing, if we have to endure sicknesses, losses, bereavements, and disappointments, just like other men. Free pardon and full forgiveness, grace along the way, and glory at the endall this our Savior has promised to give. But He has never promised that we shall have no afflictions.

Hell itself is truth known too late

The surest mark of true conversion is humility.

All converted people should labor to adorn the doctrine they profess by humility. If they can do nothing else, they can strive to be humble.
