Everlasting life is a jewel of too great a value to be purchased by the wealth of this world.

Goodness makes greatness truly valuable, and greatness make goodness much more serviceable.

To a good man, God gives not only wisdom and knowledge, but joy.

Those will soon come to make nothing of God that will not be content to make him their all.

. . . when we cannot do the good we would, we must be ready to do the good we can.

The God of Israel is sometimes a God who hides Himself, but never a God who absents Himself; sometimes in the dark, but never at a distance.

See what a hidden life the life of a good Christian is, and how much it is concealed from the eye and observation of the world. The most important part of the business lies between God and our own souls, in the frame of our spirits and the working of our hearts, in our actions that no eye sees except the all-seeing God. Justly are the saints called God's hidden ones, and His secret is said to be with them. They have meat to eat and work to do that the world does not know of, as well as joys, griefs, and cares that a stranger does not share.
