Watch your motive before God; have no other motive in prayer than to know Him.

The saint is hilarious when he is crushed with difficulties because the thing is so ludicrously impossible to anyone but God.

Jesus Christ has undertaken by His redemption to put in me a heart so pure that God can see nothing to censure.

As we go forth into the coming year, let it not be in the haste of impetuous, forgetful delight, nor with the quickness of impulsive thoughtlessness . But let us go out with the patient power of knowing that the God of Israel will go before us.

Temptation is a suggested short cut to the realization of the highest at which I aim - not towards what I understand as evil, but towards what I understand as good.

I have to learn that the aim in life is God's, not mine. God is using me from His great personal standpoint, and all He asks of me is that I trust Him, and never say — Lord, this gives me such heart-ache.

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