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

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.

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

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.

Not only must the message be correctly delivered, but the messenger himself must be such as to recommend it to acceptance.
