I have often thought that the best Christians are found in the worst of times.
Great grace and small gifts are better than great gifts and no grace.
It is said that in some countries trees will grow, but will bear no fruit because there is no winter there.
Sincerity carries the soul in all simplicity to open its heart to God.
…just as Christian came up to the Cross, his burden loosed from off his shoulders, fell from off his back, and began to tumble down the hill, and so it continued to do till it came to the mouth of the sepulchre. There it fell in, and I saw it no more!
Love is the beauty and the strength of all societies and the great pleasure of our lives on earth.
