 They know indeed that they are mortal, but they do not feel it. Author: William Wilberforce |
| There are different kinds of fire; there is false fire. No one knows this better than we do, but we are not such fools as to refuse good bank notes because there are false ones in circulation; and although we see here and there manifestations of what appears to us to be nothing more than mere earthly fire, we none the less prize and value, and seek for the genuine fire which comes from the altar of the Lord. Author: William Booth |
| He who has learned to pray has learned the greatest secret of a holy and happy life. Author: William Law |
| Perfection does not consist in any singular state or condition of life, or in any particular set of duties, but in holy and religious conduct of ourselves in every state of Life. Author: William Law |

| It is appalling to think of a power so strong that it can annihilate with the irresistible force of its grinding heel; but it is inspiring to consider an Almightiness that transforms the works of evil into the hand-maidens of righteousness and converts the sinner into the saint. And it is this latter power which eternal Love possesses and exhibits. He persistently dwells in the sinner until the sinner wakes up in His likeness and is satisfied with it. Author: Charles H. Brent |
| Yours will be the wings of an eagle's flight, the soaring of a lark, sunward, heavenward, Godward! But you must take time to be holy - in meditation, in prayer, and especially in the use of the Bible. Author: F.B. Meyer |
| May we not only be delivered from the outward act or word that grieves Thee, but may the very springs of our nature be purified! Author: F.B. Meyer |
