I find it most true that the greatest temptation outside of hell is to live without temptations; if water stands, it rots; faith is the better for the sharp winter storm in its face and grace withers without adversity. The devil is but God's master fencer to teach us to handle our weapons.

I have been benefited by praying for others; for by making an errand to God for them I have gotten something for myself.

They lose nothing who gain Christ.

Be not cast down. If ye saw Him who is standing on the shore, holding out His arms to welcome you to land, ye would wade, not only through a sea of wrongs, but through hell itself to be with Him.

Set no time to the Lord the creator of time, for His time is always best.

In our fluctuations of feelings, it is well to remember that Jesus admits no change in His affections; your heart is not the compass Jesus saileth by.

Build your nest in no tree here...for the Lord of the forest has condemned the whole woods to be demolished.
