There is no persuasiveness more effectual than the transparency of a single heart, of a sincere life.

The future is hidden by a dark impenetrable veil, and yet we struggle to pierce through it.

Yes, God is the end of your work, but He is the beginning also.

Yes, forget your weakness, whatever that weakness may be. It is egotism, it is selfishness after. all, for it is a dwelling on self. Forget your weakness; and remember your strength.

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.

I will not be discouraged by failure; I will not be elated by success.

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.
