True faith is ever connected with hope.

If true religion is to beam upon us, our principle must be, that it is necessary to begin with heavenly teaching, and that it is impossible for any man to obtain even the minutest portion of right and sound doctrine without being a disciple of Scripture.

We can experience joy in adverse circumstances by holding God's benefits in such esteem that the recognition of them and meditation upon them shall overcome all sorrow.

True wisdom consists in two things: Knowledge of God and Knowledge of Self.

Nearly all the wisdom we possess, that is to say, true and sound wisdom, consists of two parts: the knowledge of God and of ourselves.

All our words ought to be filled with true sweetness and grace; and this will be so if we mingle the useful with the sweet.

The only right stewardship is that which is tested by the rule of love.
