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

All outward means of grace, if separate from the spirit of God, cannot profit, or conduce, in any degree, either to the knowledge or love of God. All outward things, unless he work in them and by them, are in vain.

Give me 100 men that hate nothing but sin, and love Jesus Christ, and we'll shake England for God.

Wherever riches have increased, the essence of religion has decreased in the same proportion.

Lord, I am no longer my own, but Yours. Put me to what You will, rank me with whom You will. Let be employed by You or laid aside for You, exalted for You or brought low by You. Let me have all things, let me have nothing, I freely and heartily yield all things to Your pleasure and disposal. And now, O glorious and blessed God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, You are mine and I am Yours. So be it. Amen.

God grant that I may never live to be useless!
