All my theology is reduced to this narrow compass - "Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners."

Do not for a moment suppose that you must make yourself better, or prepare your heart for a worthy reception of Christ, but come at once - come as you are.

No one was ever saved because his sins were small; no one was ever rejected on account of the greatness of his sins. Where sin abounded, grace shall much more abound.

It is easier to find a score of men wise enough to discover the truth than to find one intrepid enough, in the face of opposition, to stand up for it.

A church has no right to make anything a condition of membership, which Christ has not made a condition of salvation.

Nature never makes any blunders, when she makes a fool she means it.

He is wise who knows the sources of knowledge - where it is written and where it is to be found.

Faith must have adequate evidence, else it is mere superstition.

God is not glorified in any transaction upon earth so much as in the conversion of a sinner.

No man can ever raise above that that which he aims.

I started 'Society's Child' on a bus in East Orange as I was going home from school. I saw a black and white couple sitting there and started thinking about it.

Newspapers are even worse for me than ice cream; headlines, and the big issues that generate the headlines, are pure fat.

I'm very interested in structure, how multiple stories are assembled in different ways; that is what memory does as well.

It is the chair in honor of all those who, however competently, embrace the impossible. Sit in that chair someday.

Keep a stiff upper chin.

I know now that before I take a picture I have to be sure about how I feel about the subjects. What I don't know is if I should explain to them what I'm doing while I'm photographing them.

I feel good with my slider a lot. When I'm far behind the count I use it ... so I feel confident with that.
