The tragedy of life and of the world is not that men do not know God; the tragedy is that, knowing Him, they still insist on going their own way.

One of the highest of human duties is the duty of encouragement...It is easy to laugh at men's ideals; it is easy to pour cold water on their enthusiasm; it is easy to discourage others. The world is full of discouragers. We have a Christian duty to encourage one another. Many a time a word of praise or thanks or appreciation or cheer has kept a man on his feet. Blessed is the man who speaks such a word.

We are chosen for joy. However hard the Christian way, it is both in the traveling and in the goal, the way of joy.

The terrible importance of this life is that it determines eternity.

If we find ourselves becoming critical of other people we should stop examining them, and start examining ourselves.

Faith is not only commitment to the promises of Christ; it is also commitment to his demands.

In the time we have it is surely our duty to do all the good we can to all the people we can in all the ways we can.
