Self-confidence is either a petty pride in our own narrowness, or a realization of our duty and privilege as one of God's children.

Heaven is not to sweep our truths away, but only to turn them till we see their glory, to open them till we see their truth, and to unveil our eyes till for the first time we shall really see them.

Get up; repent. Come to God. Get the pattern of your life from Him, and then go about your work and be yourself.

Pray for powers equal to your tasks.

Wherever souls are being tried and ripened, in whatever commonplace and homely way, there God is hewing out the pillars for His temple.

The more man becomes irradiated with Divinity, the more, not the less, truly he is man.

Never fear to bring the sublimest motive to the smallest duty, and the most infinite comfort to the smallest trouble.
