No prayers can be heard which do not come from a forgiving heart.

No one ever said at the end of his days; 'I have read my bible too much, I have thought of God too much, I have prayed too much, I have been too careful with my soul'

The true Christian does not need to be reminded that he has a crucified Master. He often thinks of Him.

A zealous man feels that like a lamp he is made to burn; and if consumed in burning, he has but done the work for which God appointed him. Such a one will always find a sphere for his zeal. If he cannot preach and work and give money, he will cry and sigh and pray.

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

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

Many, I fear, would like glory, who have no wish for grace. They would [want to] have the wages, but not the work; the harvest, but not the labor; the reaping, but not the sowing; the reward, but not the battle. But it may not be.
