Teach him to deny himself.

There is nothing left for me to do but to go and see General Grant and I would rather die a thousand deaths.

I can only say that I am nothing but a poor sinner, trusting in Christ alone for salvation.

We must...submit ourselves in adversity to the will of a merciful God as cheerfully as in prosperity.

If we do not do this our churches will lighthouses without light, wells without water, dumb witnesses, sleeping watchmen, silent trumpets, messengers without tidings, a comfort for infidels, jubilant joys to the devil, and an offense to God.

We cannot afford to be idle, and though weaker than our opponents in men and military equipments, must endeavor to harass, if we cannot destroy them.

Never do a wrong thing to make a friend or to keep one.
