There is only one way to bring peace to the heart, joy to the mind, and beauty to the life; it is to accept and do the will of God.

More people have been brought into the church by the kindness of real Christian love than by all the theological arguments in the world.

Christianity does not think of man finally submitting to the power of God, it thinks of Him as finally surrendering to the love of God. It is not that man's will is crushed, but that man's heart is broken.

The Christian is called upon to be the partner of God in the work of the conversion of men.

Timothy's great value was that he was always willing to go anywhere; and in his hands a message was as safe as if Paul had delivered it himself. Others might be consumed with selfish ambition; but Timothy's one desire was to serve Paul and Jesus Christ. He is the patron saint of all those who are quite content with the second place, so long as they can serve.

Strict orthodoxy can cost too much if it has to be bought at the price of love. All the orthodoxy in the world will never take the place of love.

In the way of Christ the reward of work well done is more work to do.
