 Many men owe the grandeur of their lives to their tremendous difficulties. Topics: Suffering |
| Our sorrows are all, like ourselves, mortal. There are no immortal sorrows for immortal souls. They come, but blessed be God, they also go. Like birds of the air, they fly over our heads. But they cannot make their abode in our souls. We suffer today, but we shall rejoice tomorrow. Topics: Suffering |

| I venture to say that the bulk of Christians spend more time in reading the newspaper than they do reading the Word of God. Topics: The Bible |
| It is blessed to eat into the very soul of the Bible until, at last, you come to talk in Scriptural language, and your spirit is flavoured with the words of the Lord, so that your blood is Bibline and the very essence of the Bible flows from you. Topics: The Bible |
| No music is more sweet to a gospel preacher than the rustle of Bible pages in the congregation. Topics: The Bible |
