I believe in my heart that faith in Jesus Christ can and will lead us beyond an exclusive concern for the well-being of other human beings to the broader concern for the well-being of the birds in our backyards, the fish in our rivers, and every living creature on the face of the earth.

For many ages it has been allowed by sensible men, Nihil est in intellectu quod non fuit prius in sensu: That is, There is nothing in the understanding which was not first perceived by some of the senses. All the knowledge which we naturally have is originally derived from our senses. And therefore those who want any sense cannot have the least knowledge or idea of the objects of that sense; as they that never had sight have not the least knowledge or conception of light or colours.

If we cannot think alike, at least we may love alike; and can anything but love beget love?

You have one business on earth – to save souls.

Catch on fire and people will come for miles to see you burn.

It is the work of God alone to justify, to sanctify, and to glorify.

Whatever the natural cause, sin is the true cause of all earthquakes.
