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

Forasmuch as many people study more to have knowledge than to live well therefore ofttimes they err and bring forth little fruit or none.

If your heart were sincere and upright, every creature would be unto you a looking-glass of life and a book of holy doctrine.

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

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.

The better you understand yourself the less cause you will find to love yourself.

Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength.... It is therefore able to undertake all things, and it completes many things, and warrants them to take effect, where he who does not love would faint and lie down.
