 A sinner can no more repent and believe without the Holy Spirit's aid than he can create a world. |
| If any of you should ask me for an epitome of the Christian religion, I should say that it is in one word - prayer. Live and die without prayer, and you will pray long enough when you get to hell. |
| We are all at times unconscious prophets. |
| I believe that nothing happens apart from divine determination and decree. We shall never be able to escape from the doctrine of divine predestination - the doctrine that God has foreordained certain people unto eternal life. |

| It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness. |
| A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble. |
| Sincerity makes the very least person to be of more value than the most talented hypocrite. |

| Many men owe the grandeur of their lives to their tremendous difficulties. |
| It's not the having, it's the getting. |
| The goose that lays the golden eggs likes to lay where there are eggs already. |
| By perseverance the snail reached the ark. |
| You might not always get what you want, but you always get what you expect. |
| No one knows who is listening, say nothing you would not wish put in the newspapers. |
| It has been said that our anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, but only empties today of its strength. |
| A vigorous temper is not altogether an evil. Men who are easy as an old shoe are generally of little worth. |
| Trials teach us what we are; they dig up the soil, and let us see what we are made of. |
| We have come to a turning point in the road. If we turn to the right mayhap our children and our children's children will go that way; but if we turn to the left, generations yet unborn will curse our names for having been unfaithful to God and to His Word. |
| Must is a hard nut to crack, but it has a sweet kernel. |
