Think it not hard if you get not your will, nor your delights in this life; God will have you to rejoice in nothing but himself.

Ye have lost a child--nay, she is not lost to you, who is found to Christ; she is not sent away, but only sent before; like unto a star, which going out of our sight, doth not die and vanish, but shineth in another hemisphere.

Grace tried is better than grace, and more than grace; it is glory in its infancy

I bless the Lord that all our troubles come through Christ's fingers, and that He casteth sugar among them and casteth in some ounce withts of heaven and of the spirit of glory in our cup.

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.

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

I live no more, but Christ liveth in me!
