The trouble is that I'm in a hurry, but God isn't.

When you discover you've been leading only half a life, the other half is going to haunt you until you develop it.

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

No man dares to condemn the Christian faith today, because the Christian faith has not been tried. Not until men get rid of the thought that it is a poor machine, an expedient for saving them from suffering and pain; not until they get the grand idea of it as the great power of God present in and through the lives of men; not until then does Christianity enter upon its true trial and become ready to show what it can do.

Charity should begin at home, but should not stay there.

O, do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men! Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks! Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle. But you shall be a miracle. Every day you shall wonder at yourself, at the richness of life which has come to you by the grace of God.

Be such a man, and live such a life, that if every man were such as you, and every life a life like yours, this earth would be God's Paradise.
