Never be diplomatic and careful about the treasure God gives. This is poverty triumphant.

The man who prays ceases to be a fool

It is perilously easy to have amazing sympathy with God's truth and remain in sin.

It is not true to say that God wants to teach us something in our trials. Through every cloud He brings our way, He wants us to unlearn something.

Watch human nature; we are so built that if we do not get thrilled in the right way, we will get thrilled in the wrong. If we are without the thrill of communion with God, we will try to get thrilled by the devil, or by some concoction of human ingenuity.

A man ceases to be an honest doubter the moment he refuses one way of getting at the truth because he does not like that way.

A hypocrite is one who plays two parts consciously for his own ends. When we find fault with other people we may be quite sincere, and yet Jesus says in reality we are frauds.
