I have never known more than fifteen minutes of anxiety or fear. Whenever I feel fearful emotions overtaking me, I just close my eyes and thank God that He is still on the throne reigning over everything and I take comfort in His control over the affairs of my life.

I have so much to do that I spend several hours in prayer before I am able to do it.

If doing a good act in public will excite others to do more good, then 'Let your light shine to all.' Miss no opportunity to do good.

Orthodoxy, or right opinion, is, at best, a very slender part of religion. Though right tempers cannot subsist without right opinions, yet right opinions may subsist without right tempers. There may be a right opinion of God without either love or one right temper toward Him. Satan is a proof of this.

My one aim in life is to secure personal holiness, for without being holy myself I cannot promote real holiness in others.

We are always open to instruction, willing to be wiser every day than we were before, and to change whatever we can change for the better.

A meek spirit gives no trouble willingly to any: a quiet spirit bears all wrongs without being troubled.
