A saint is never consciously a saint- a saint is consciously dependent on God.

Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One who is leading.

The only right a Christian has is the right to give up his rights.

We have become so self-centered that we go to God only for something from Him, and not for God Himself.

We must get to the place of real solitude with Christ. He is our mountain-height and our sea-calm.

Earnestness is not by any means everything; it is very often a subtle form of pious pride because it is obsessed with the method and not with the Master.

We think rightly or wrongly about prayer according to the conception we have in our minds of prayer. If we think of prayer as the breath in our lungs and the blood from our hearts, we think rightly. The blood flows ceaselessly, and breathing continues ceaselessly; we are not conscious of it, but it is always going on. We are not always conscious of Jesus keeping us in perfect joint with God, but if we are obeying Him, He always is.
