Every year of my life I grow more convinced that it is wisest and best to fix our attention on the beautiful and the good, and dwell as little as possible on the evil and the false.

Eloquence is vehement simplicity.

Faith makes all evil good to us, and all good better; unbelief makes all good evil, and all evil worse.

Self-will so ardent and active that it will break a world to pieces to make a stool to sit on.

Prayer is faith passing into action.

Regeneration is God's disposing the heart to Himself; conversion is the actual turning of the heart to God.

If there is any person to whom you feel a dislike, that is the person of whom you ought never to speak.
