I am a great Sinner and God is a great Savior

A minister full of comforts & free from failings as an angel, though he would be happy, wouldn't be a good or useful preacher

If our zeal is embittered by expressions of anger, invective, or scorn—we may think we are doing service of the cause of truth, when in reality we shall only bring it into discredit!

I am persuaded that love and humility are the highest attainments in the school of Christ and the brightest evidences that He is indeed our Master.

I endeavored to renounce society, that I might avoid temptation. But it was a poor religion; so far as it prevailed, only tended to make me gloomy, stupid, unsociable, and useless.

Zeal without knowledge is like expedition to a man in the dark.

Our work is great; our time is short; the consequences of our labors are infinite.
