 If you're running a 26-mile marathon, remember that every mile is run one step at a time. If you are writing a book, do it one page at a time. If you're trying to master a new language, try it one word at a time. There are 365 days in the average year. Divide any project by 365 and you'll find that no job is all that intimidating.

| Believers must persevere in prayer that they may see clearly their own pitiful state and understand the indwelling, working, and demands of the Holy Spirit. Author: Watchman Nee |
| Each stage of the believer's walk possesses its particular hazard. The new life within us wages a constant war against all which opposes its growth. During the physical stage, it is a war against sins; in the soulish phase, it is a battle against the natural life; and lastly, on the spiritual level, it is an onslaught against the supernatural enemy. Author: Watchman Nee |
| Since the enemy focuses particular attention on the spirit, how necessary for spiritual believers to keep their own spirit in its normal state and frequently exercise it as well. Their mind must be kept perfectly calm without any disturbance; their physical senses too must be maintained in a quiet balance without agitation. Author: Watchman Nee |
| Oh, how we should guard against whatever is extreme and guard against misunderstanding in spiritual doctrine. We need not fear being radical in obeying the Lord, that is for sure; nor do we need to guard against being extreme in denying the works of the flesh. But most vigilant must we be that we do not be led to any extremes through misconception. Author: Watchman Nee |
| Your state is not at all to be measured by the opposition that sin makes to you, but by the opposition you make to it. Author: John Owen |

| We must not confide in the armour of God, but in the God of this armour, because all our weapons are only 'mighty through God.' Author: William Gurnall |
| Never, never will we desist till we extinguish every trace of this bloody traffic, of which our posterity, looking back to the history of these enlightened times will scarce believe that it has been suffered to exist so long a disgrace and dishonor to this country. Author: William Wilberforce |
| I can plod. I can persevere in any definite pursuit. To this I owe everything. Author: William Carey |
| We must wake ourselves up! Or somebody else will take our place, and bear our cross, and thereby rob us of our crown. Author: William Booth |
| Work as if everything depended upon work and pray as if everything depended upon prayer. Author: William Booth |
| While women weep, as they do now, I'll fight; while little children go hungry, as they do now, I'll fight; while men go to prison, in and out, in and out, as they do now, I'll fight; while there is a drunkard left, while there is a poor lost girl upon the streets, while there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I'll fight-I'll fight to the very end! Author: William Booth |
