A book has but one voice, but it does not instruct everyone alike.

Purity and simplicity are the two wings with which man soars above the earth and all temporary nature.

Let not your peace rest in the utterances of men, for whether they put a good or bad construction on your conduct does not make you other than you are.

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.

Wait for the Lord. Behave yourself manfully, and be of good courage. Do not be faithless, but stay in your place and do not turn back.

Constantly choose rather to want less, than to have more.

Scruples, temptations, and fears, and cutting perplexities of the heart, are often the lot of the most excellent persons.
