Prayers belong strictly to the worship of God. Fasting is a subordinate aid, which is pleasing to God no farther than as it aids the earnestness and fervency of prayer.

There is not one blade of grass, there is no color in this world that is not intended to make men rejoice.

We must always speak of the efficacy of the ministry in such a manner that the entire praise of the work may be reserved for God alone.

Doubtful prayer is no prayer at all.

Faith and hope...are the wings by which our souls, rising above the world, are lifted up to God.

There is no place for faith if we expect God to fulfill immediately what he promises.

We are not to look to what men in themselves deserve but to attend to the image of God which exists in all and to which we owe all honor and love.
