Sorrow burns up a great amount of shallowness.

We hear it said that a man will suffer in his life is he does not pray; I question it. What will suffer is the life of the Son of God within him, which is nourished not by food but by prayer...Prayer is the way the life of God is nourished.

When the darkness of dismay comes, endure until it is over, because out of it will come that following of Jesus which is an unspeakable joy.

All heaven is interested in the cross of Christ, all hell terribly afraid of it, while men are the only beings who more or less ignore its meaning.

Measure your growth in grace by your sensitiveness to sin.

Spiritual maturity is not reached by the passing of the years, but by obedience to the will of God.

The dearest friend on earth is a mere shadow compared with Jesus Christ.
