As to matters of dress, I would recommend one never to be first in the fashion nor the last out of it.

No circumstances can make it necessary for a man to burst in sunder all the ties of humanity.

Having, First, gained all you can, and, Secondly saved all you can, Then give all you can.

There is no love of God without patience, and no patience without lowliness and sweetness of spirit.

When you set yourself on fire, people love to come and see you burn.

Once in seven years I burn all my sermons; for it is a shame, if I cannot write better sermons now than I did seven years ago.

You have one business on earth – to save souls.
