Make it a practice to judge persons and things in the most favorable light at all times and under all circumstances.

Never betray His principles for any reason whatsoever, and take great care not to spoil God's affairs by too much haste in them.

May God be pleased to make it known to you, and fill you increasingly with His Spirit, so that through you it may be poured into the souls you guide, and your own soul may be more greatly sanctified!

Oh! how happy the man of means who uses his wealth and his life for the greater glory of God, from whom he has received them!

Noise makes no good, good makes no noise.

We must endeavor to have God reign sovereignly in us, and then in others. The trouble with me is that I take more care to have Him reign in others than in myself.
