The Christian, like a chalice without a base, cannot stand on his own nor hold what he has received any longer that God holds him in His strong hands.

Never was a faithful prayer lost. Some prayers have a longer voyage than others, but then they return with their richer lading at last, so that the praying soul is a gainer by waiting for an answer.

We live by faith, and faith lives by exercise.

We fear men so much, because we fear God so little.

Humble souls are fearful of their own strength.

We must not confide in the armour of God, but in the God of this armour, because all our weapons are only mighty through God.

It is the saint's duty, and should be their care, not only to believe that God is Almighty, but also to strongly believe that His almighty power is engaged for our defense and help in all of our straits and temptations.
