The important consideration is not how long we can live but how well we can learn the lesson of life, and discharge our duties and obligations to God and to one another.

A man is saved no faster than he gets knowledge. For if he does not get knowledge, he will be brought into captivity by some evil power in the other world, as evil spirits will have more knowledge, and consequently more power.

We are looked upon by God as though we were in eternity; God dwells in eternity, and does not view things as we do.

I made this my rule: When the Lord commands, do it.

Although I do wrong, I do not the wrongs that I am charged with doing; the wrong that I do is through the frailty of human nature, like other men. No man lives without fault.

Trust in God, always take care of each other.

Shall we not go on in so great a cause? Go forward and not backward. Courage, brethren; and on, on to the victory!
