All that Our Lord heeds in a man's life is the relationship of worth to His Father.
The life of faith is not a life of mounting up with wings, but a life of walking and not fainting.
Holiness, not happiness, is the chief end of man.
The people who influence us are those who have stood unconsciously for the right thing. They are like the stars and the lilies, and the joy of God flows through them all the time.
Every element of our own self-reliance must be put to death by the power of God.
If we are abandoned to Jesus we have no ends of our own to serve.
