“The highest and most precious treasure we receive of God is, that we can speak, hear, see, etc; but how few acknowledge these as God’s special gifts, much less give God thanks for them.”

No man understands the Scriptures, unless he be acquainted with the Cross.

Remove Christ from the Scriptures and there is nothing left.

I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God’s hands, that I still possess.

Always preach in such a way that if the people listening do not come to hate their sin, they will instead hate you.

Whoever drinks beer, he is quick to sleep; whoever sleeps long, does not sin; whoever does not sin, enters Heaven! Thus, let us drink beer!

Now the Church is not wood and stone, but the company of believing people; one must hold to them, and see how they believe, live and teach.

Unthankfulness is theft.

God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars.

A simple layman armed with Scripture is greater than the mightiest pope without it.

This is the most dangerous trial of all, when there is no trial and every thing goes well; for then a man is tempted to forget God, to become too bold and to misuse times of prosperity.

Everything that is done in this world is done by hope.

Christians fight best on their knees. Whatever good may be done is done and brought about by prayer.

They gave our Master a crown of thorns, why do we hope for a crown of roses?

Temptations, of course, cannot be avoided, but because we cannot prevent the birds from flying over our heads, there is no need that we should let them nest in our hair.

The Bible is the cradle wherein Christ is laid.

For what God gives I thank indeed; What He withholds I do not need.

I have far more confidence in the one man who works mentally and bodily at a matter than in the six who merely talk about it.

Mentally, I have to get my body and mind in the right place before I start the routine, but once into the zone, it’s like I turn on a switch. I envision myself doing the same thing for the Olympic Games.

I propose to distinguish these bodies by calling those anions which go to the anode of the decomposing body; and those passing to the cathode, cations; and when I have occasion to speak of these together, I shall call them ions.

You touch me and my bones tremble.

I fought, I fought harder, but one cell at a time, panic crept into my body, taking me over.

I wanted to get really fit. I wanted to lose some weight. So I’ve been doing Pilates and yoga, trying to lean out my body so I won’t be bulky.

The body is but a vessel to carry the soul. A container ship to protect it as it passes through this world.

If your thighs touch, don’t be scared. They are just kissing; it’s a love affair.
