Of what use is a long life, if we amend so little? Alas, a long life often adds to our sins rather than to our virtue!

O how quickly passes away the glory of the earth.

One who views thing as they are in reality, and not as they are said or thought to be, is truly wise, taught by God rather than by other persons

He will be with you also, all the way, that faithful God. Every morning when you awaken to the old and tolerable pain, at every mile of the hot uphill dusty road of tiring duty, on to the judgment seat, the same Christ there as ever, still loving you, still sufficient for you, even then. And then, on through all eternity.

I can take credit for only two things: pride and sin.

It is futile to wish for a long life, and then to give so little care to living well.

If God were our one and only desire we would not be so easily upset when our opinions do not find outside acceptance.
