It is better to run the risk of being considered indecisive, better to be uncertain and not promise, than to promise and not fulfill.

We are not to preach the doing of good things; good deeds are not to be preached, they are to be performed.

The real test of a saint is not one's willingness to preach the gospel, but one's willingness to do something like washing the disciples' feet - that is, being willing to do those things that seem unimportant in human estimation but count as everything to God.

Tolerating a wrong attitude toward another person causes you to follow the spirit of the devil, no matter how saintly you are.

Take yourself by the scruff of the neck and shake off your incarnate laziness.

If we are going to live as disciples of Jesus, we have to remember that all noble things are difficult.

Let the attitude of your life be a continual willingness to "go out" in dependence upon God, and your life will have a sacred and inexpressible charm about it that is very satisfying to Jesus. You must learn to "go out" through your convictions, creeds, or experiences until you come to the point in your faith where there is nothing between yourself and God.
