Experience supplies painful proof that traditions once called into being are first called useful, then they become necessary. At last they are too often made idols, and all must bow down to them or be punished.

Why is a believer patient? Because he looks for the coming of the Lord...He waits quietly for the King.

There are no lessons so useful as those learned in the school of affliction.

Laughter, ridicule, opposition, persecution, are often the only reward which Christ's followers get from the world.

Without the blessing of the Lord, your best endeavors will do no good. He has the hearts of all men in His hands, and except He touch the hearts of your children by His Spirit, you will weary yourself to no purpose. Water, therefore, the seed you sow on their minds with unceasing prayer.

God is far more willing to save sinners than sinners are to be saved.
