Sanctification is not regeneration.

We shall see our friends again. We can lay them in the grave; we know they are safe with God.

If you live for your children, they may be smitten down and leave you desolate, or, what is far worse, they may desert you and leave you worse than childless in a cold and unfeeling world.

If, then, knowledge be power, how much more power to we gain through the agency of faith, and what elevation must it give to human character.

If you live for any joy on earth, you may be forsaken; but, oh, live for Jesus, and he will never forsake you!

Human nature is the same now as when Adam hid from the presence of God; the consciousness of wrong makes us unwilling to meet those whom we have offended.

There is a contest old as Eden, which still goes on - the conflict between right and wrong, between error and truth. In this conflict every human being has a part.

If, then, faith widens the connections, it elevates the man.

Angels are spirits, flames of fire; they are higher than man, they have wider connections.

We ourselves can die with comfort and even with joy if we know that death is but a passport to blessedness, that this intellect, freed from all material chains, shall rise and shine.

Not in purity or in holiness merely, for in Paradise man was holy, and he shall be holy when redeemed through the sacrifice of Christ and made an heir of heaven.

If you want to be successful, it's just this simple. Know what you are doing. Love what you are doing. And believe in what you are doing.

Trusting God doesn't alter our circumstances. Perfect trust in Him changes us.

The more I take care of myself, the more prosperous I am.

We are not, most of us, capable of exalted emotion, save rarely.

For a few political turncoats there is real excuse. One can hardly blame those whom one ministry have seen fit to throw overboard for having the strength to swim to the other side.

He that lives most dies most.

There's no such thing as a perfect life, but if you hold on to that long enough and watch it get chipped away, that's really hard to deal with. I had no one telling me otherwise.

I don't feel that any of my greatness has been covered over.

There's nothing I hate more than gritty, linty, mysterious pocket schmutz in the cap of my lip moisturizer - or, even worse, on the applicator itself. I shudder at the thought.

Zen has no secrets other than seriously thinking about life and death.
