The whole world of thought lay unexplored before me, - a world of which I had already caught large and tempting glimpses.

The curse of covetousness is that it destroys manhood by substituting money for character.

The first real unhappiness I remember to have felt was when some one told me, one day, that I did not love God. I insisted, almost tearfully, that I did; but I was told that if I did truly love Him I should always be good. I knew I was not that, and the feeling of sudden orphanage came over me like a bewildering cloud.

A man may make a misanthrope of himself, but he is never one by nature.

I never thought that the possession of money would make me feel rich: it often does seem to have an opposite effect. But then, I have never had the opportunity of knowing, by experience, how it does make one feel. It is something to have been spared the responsibility of taking charge of the Lord's silver and gold.

Whatever science and philosophy may do for mankind, the world can never outgrow its need of the simplicity that is in Christ.

Every true friend is a glimpse of God.
