Every sermon must have a solid rest in Scripture, and the pointedness which comes of a clear subject, and the conviction which belongs to well-thought argument, and the warmth that proceeds from earnest appeal.

A man who lives right, and is right, has more power in his silence than another has by his words.

Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks.

I do not pray for a lighter load, but for a stronger back.

Bear with the faults of others as you would have them bear with yours.

To find his place and fill it is success for a man.

The solution to sin is not to impose an ever-stricter code of behavior. It is to know God.
