None but God can satisfy the longings of an immortal soul; that as the heart was made for Him, so He only can fill it.

There is hardly a mistake which in the course of our lives we have committed, but some proverb, had we known and attended to its lesson, might have saved us from it.

If we with earnest effort could succeed To make our life one long, connected prayer, As lives of some, perhaps, have been and are; If, never leaving Thee, we have no need Our wandering spirits back again to lead Into Thy presence, but continued there Like angels standing on the highest stair Of the Sapphire Throne: this were to pray indeed!

Best friends might loathe us, if what things perverse we know of our own selves they also knew.

Sin may be clasped so close, we cannot see its face.

None but God can satisfy the longings of an immortal soul; that as the heart was made for Him, so He only can fill it.

For we must share, if we would keep, that blessing from above; ceasing to give, we cease to have; such is the law of love.
