It is the fire of suffering that brings forth the gold of godliness.

Surrender yourselves then to be led and disposed of just as God pleases, with respect both to your outward and inward state.

Ah, if you knew what peace there is in an accepted sorrow!

All consolation that does not come from God is but desolation; when the soul has learned to receive no comfort but in God only, it has passed beyond the reach of desolation.

O my God, how true it is that we may have of Thy gifts and yet may be full of ourselves!

God's designs regarding you, and His methods of bringing about these designs, are infinitely wise.

Oh, that we fully understood how very opposite our self-righteousness is to the designs of God!
