God is not hostile to sinners, but only to unbelievers.

When I am assailed with heavy tribulations, I rush out among my pigs rather than remain alone by myself. The human heart is like a millstone in a mill: when you put wheat under it, it turns and grinds and bruises the wheat to flour; if you put no wheat, it still grinds on, but then 'tis itself it grinds and wears away. So the human heart, unless it be occupied with some employment, leaves space for the devil, who wriggles himself in and brings with him a whole host of evil thoughts, temptations, and tribulations, which grind out the heart.

Peace is more important than all justice; and peace was not made for the sake of justice, but justice for the sake of peace.

It is a good thing to let prayer be the first business of the morning and the last of the evening.

Whoever wishes to be a Christian, let him pluck out the eyes of his reason.

Who waits until circumstances completely favor his undertaking, will never accomplish anything.

If I fail to spend two hours in prayer each morning, the devil gets the victory through the day. I have so much business I cannot get on without spending three hours daily in prayer.
