I see no faults in the Church, and therefore let me be resurrected with the Saints, whether I ascend to heaven or descend to hell, or go to any other place. And if we go to hell, we will turn the devils out of doors and make a heaven of it.

I combat the errors of ages; I meet the violence of mobs; I cope with illegal proceedings from executive authority; I cut the gordian knot of powers, and I solve mathematical problems of universities, with truth-diamond truth; and God is my 'right hand man'.

Sometimes the Lord brings us low before he can lift us higher.

By proving contraries, truth is made manifest.

Noah came before the flood. I have come before the fire.

When we are accomplishing the good, the greatest opposition comes.

Whatever happens, the Lord is in it.
