Let us always guard our tongue; not that it should always be silent, but that it should speak at the proper time.

Nothing will divide the church so much as the love of power.

Sin makes man a coward; but a life in the Truth of Christ makes Him bold.

The potency of prayer hath subdued the strength of fire; it hath bridled the rage of lions, hushed anarchy to rest, extinguished wars, appeased the elements, expelled demons, burst the chains of death, expanded the gates of heaven, assuaged diseases, repelled frauds, rescued cities from destruction, stayed the sun in its course, and arrested the progress of the thunderbolt.

Let us pass to the despotic part of the soul, spirit. We must not eliminate it utterly from the youth nor yet allow him to use it all the time.
