The Holy Spirit would lead us to think much upon our own sins . It is a dangerous thing for us to dwell upon the imperfections of others.

Spiritual pride is the worst of all pride, if it is not the worst snare of the devil. The heart is peculiarly deceitful on just this one thing.

You must make your choice whether to hold on to some thing which cannot save you, or let go, and fall into the hands of the Lord.

My observation continues to confirm me more and more in the opinion, that to experience religion is to experience the truth of the great doctrines of Divine grace.

It is a great truth, " God reigns," and therefore grace reigns through righteousness unto eternal life, by Jesus Christ our Lord; and, therefore, no sinner on earth need ever despair.

There are multitudes in our congregations who are just waiting while they ought to be acting. They must work, if they would have God work in them. There can be no religion without obedience.

There is no reason to believe that the Holy Spirit ever leaves awakened sinners, only as they leave the truth of God for some error or sin.

When a sinner has any just sense of his condition, as alienated from a holy God, he will not be apt to think of the unpardonable sin.

He endured all that hell is on the cross, so that you would never know what hell is like.

Books always attract my attention.

...you are not what you seem - you're a Sylph - you leave and the air retains your image - you haunt me...

The hardest people to reach with the love of God are not the bad people. They know they are bad. They have no defense. The hardest ones to win for God are the self-righteous people.

The optimum frequency with which comedians should do a series is every year. I do one every three years. My audience is literally dying off.

When you notice something clearly and see it vividly, it then becomes sacred.

Your failures and misfortunes don't threaten other people. . .It's your assets and your successes that are problems for people who derive their self-esteem from being superior.

A sad, wise valor is the brave complexion.

The characters are trapped within the lifestyle. It's about what goes on before the movie starts.

When you know and feel the miracle that you are, you become certain that nothing is impossible for you.
