Neither great nor good things were ever attained without loss and hardships. Those that would reap and not labour, must faint with the wind, and perish in disappointments; but an hair of my head shall not fall, without the providence of my Father that is over all.
Neither despise nor oppose what thou dost not understand.
Men not living to what they know, cannot blame God, that they know no more.
No pain, no palm; no thorns, no throne; no gall, no glory; no cross, no crown.
