If God is to create or to preserve a creature, God must be present and must make and preserve God's creation both in its innermost and outermost aspects.

Love is an image of God, and not a lifeless image, but the living essence of the divine nature which beams full of all goodness.

Whoever wants to be a Christian should tear the eyes out of his reason.

Faith, like light, should always be simple and unbending; while love, like warmth, should beam forth on every side, and bend to every necessity of our brethren.

I have done nothing; the Word has done and accomplished everything.... I let the Word do its work!

Reason must be deluded, blinded, and destroyed. Faith must trample underfoot all reason, sense, and understanding, and whatever it sees must be put out of sight and ... know nothing but the word of God.

No gown worse becomes a woman than the desire to be wise.
