The good is always the enemy of the best.

When it is a question of God's almighty Spirit, never say, 'I can't.'

The greatest need we have is not to do things, but to believe things.

Our understanding of God is the answer to prayer; getting things from God is God's indulgence of us. When God stops giving us things, He brings us into the place where we can begin to understand Him.

If my ruling disposition is self-interest, I perceive that everything that happens to me is always for or against my self-interest; if, on the other hand, my ruling disposition is obedience to God, I perceive Him to be at work for my perfecting in everything that happens to me.

God answers prayer on the ground of Redemption and on no other ground.

Temptations in the life of faith are not accidents; each temptation is part of a plan, a step in the progress of faith.
