Our ground of hope is that God does not weary of mankind.

Nothing is so strong as gentleness.

In being realistic we do not always have to be pessimistic. Christ never blinked his eyes at bad things. But he never became so obsessed with human evil that he lost faith in man.

When the congregation becomes the norm by which sermons are measured, a minister has put a mortgage on his soul.

Whatever the right hand findeth to do, the left hand carries a watch on its wrist to show how long it takes to do it.

Balance the bad news of life with the good news of Christ.

The test of courage comes when we are in the minority. The test of tolerance comes when we are in the majority.
