Those who lapse from the Gospel to the Law are no better off than those who lapse from grace to idolatry.

One is not righteous who does much, but the one who, without work, believes much in Christ. The law says, 'Do this,' and it is never done. Grace says, 'Believe in this,' and everything is already done.

O, this faith is a living, busy, active, powerful thing! It is impossible that it should not be ceaselessly doing that which is good. It does not even ask whether good works should be done; but before the question can be asked, it has done them, and it is constantly engaged in doing them. But he who does not do such works, is a man without faith. He gropes and casts about him to find faith and good works, not knowing what either of them is, and yet prattles and idly multiplies words about faith and good works.

To pray well is the better half of study.

The truth is mightier than eloquence, the Spirit greater than genius, faith more than education.

What do we older folks live for if not for the care of the young, to teach and train them?

As long as we live there is never enough singing.
