The greatest burden in the world is superstition, not only of ceremonies in the church, but of imaginary and scarecrow sins at home.

The seed of God's Word won't grow to fruitfulness without pruning for rest, quiet, and calm

I guess I was raised in a household with a lot of reverence for the physical sanctity of books. You didn't destroy books.

We see what we want to believe.

Many Chinese saw opium as a poison introduced by foreign enemies.
