Ah, if you knew what peace there is in an accepted sorrow!

It is only by a total death to self we can be lost in God.

He who has a pure heart will never cease to pray; and he who will be constant in prayer, shall know what it is to have a pure heart.

Self-seeking is the gate by which a soul departs from peace; and total abandonment to the will of God, that by which it returns.

I have never found any who prayed so well as those who had never been taught how. They who have no master in man, have one in the Holy Spirit.

Oh, that we fully understood how very opposite our self-righteousness is to the designs of God!

God's designs regarding you, and His methods of bringing about these designs, are infinitely wise.

All consolation that does not come from God is but desolation; when the soul has learned to receive no comfort but in God only, it has passed beyond the reach of desolation.

The more wants we have, the further we are from God, and the nearer we approach him, the better can we dispense with everything that is not Himself.

It is the fire of suffering that brings forth the gold of godliness.

Let no one ask a stronger mark of an excellent love to God, than that we are insensible to our own reputation.

Human mind is the only real hope for the future of humanity! Have faith in human mind which is the only instrument who can protect you in this savage universe!

Faith is stronger than so-called reason.

Everything in this world exists to wear you down.

Nobody knows exactly what he's capable of until he tries.

If everybody can be happy with what they achieve with their life, this world would be a better place.

To bend and prostrate oneself to express sentiments of respect, appears to be a natural motion.

When you were a tadpole and I was a fish, in the Palæozoic time And side by side in the sluggish tide, we sprawled in the ooze and slime.

For every man, peace of soul is precious.

Laughter ispleasant, butthe exertion istoomuchfor me.

There is no such thing as pure good or pure evil, least of all in people.
