If you are apostles at all, you are apostles, not of men, nor by man. Your sufficiency is of God.

We do not realise that we are children of eternity. If we did, then success would be no success, and failure would be no failure to us.

God is the last link of the chain, but He is the first also.

It is strange to reflect how much energy is thrown away in attempting to know the unknowable.

There will be no misgiving, no shrinking back, no calculation of overpowering odds, no terror of possible consequences, if you frankly accept the gift which God offers you tomorrow.

Try to help others. Consult their weaknesses, relieve their maladies; strive to raise them up, and by so doing you will most effectually raise yourself up also.
