Knowledge of the Bible never comes by intuition. It can only be obtained by diligent, regular, daily, attentive reading.

Naked we came upon earth, and naked we go forth, and of all our possessions, we can carry nothing with us.

Children are very quick observers; very quick in seeing through some kinds of hypocrisy, very quick in finding out what you really think and feel, very quick in adopting all your ways and opinions. You will often discover that, as the father is, so is the son.

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

Sin always seems 'good, and pleasant, and desirable,' at the time of commission.

Imagination is the hotbed where this sin is too often hatched. Guard your thoughts, and there will be little fear about your actions.

He does not regard the quantity of faith, but the quality. He does not measure its degree, but its truth. He will not break any bruised reed, nor quench any smoking flax. He will never let it be said that any perished at the foot of the cross.
