Whatsoever God takes away from His children, He either replaces it with a much greater favor or else gives strength to bear it.

Let weak Christians know that a spark from heaven, though kindled under green wood that sobs and smokes, yet it will consume all at last.

Measure not God's love and favour by your own feeling. The sun shines as clearly in the darkest day as it does in the brightest. The difference is not in the sun, but in some clouds which hinder the manifestation of the light thereof.

Whatsoever is good for God's children they shall have it, for all is theirs to further them to heaven; therefore, if poverty be good, they shall have it; if disgrace be good, they shall have it; if crosses be good, they shall have them; if misery be good, they shall have it; for all is ours, to serve for our greatest good.

Christ does not choose you because you are good, but to make you good.

The winter prepares the earth for the spring, so do afflictions sanctified prepare the soul for glory.

Possibilitas tua mensura tua'(What is possible to you is what you will be measured by).
