Resolved, never to speak evil of anyone, so that it shall tend to his dishonor, more or less, upon no account except for some real good.

Religion, in its purity, is not so much a pursuit as a temper; or rather it is a temper, leading to the pursuit of all that is high and holy. Its foundation is faith; its action, works; its temper, holiness; its aim, obedience to God in improvement of self, and benevolence to men.

He that has doctrinal knowledge and speculation only, without affection, never is engaged in the business of religion.

You have reason to wonder that you are not already in hell.

A true and faithful Christian does not make holy living an accidental thing. It is his great concern. As the business of the soldier is to fight, so the business of the Christian is to be like Christ.

Prayer is as natural an expression of faith as breathing is of life.

Every Christian that goes before us from this world is a ransomed spirit waiting to welcome us in heaven.
