“Pray, and let God worry.”

There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage.

A Christian is never in a state of completion but always in a process of becoming.

This grace of God is a very great, strong, mighty and active thing. It does not lie asleep in the soul. Grace hears, leads, drives, draws, changes, works all in man, and lets itself be distinctly felt and experienced. It is hidden, but its works are evident.

A happy fart never comes from a miserable ass.

The less I pray, the harder it gets; the more I pray, the better it goes.

He [Christ] died for me. He made His righteousness mine and made my sin His own; and if He made my sin His own, then I do not have it, and I am free.

The whole being of any Christian is faith and love. Faith brings the person to God, love brings the person to people.

God creates out of nothing. Therefore, until a man is nothing, God can make nothing out of him.

Show me where a man spends his time & money, and I’ll show you his god.

The kingdom of God does not consist in talk, but in power, that is, in works and practice. God loves the ‘doers of the word’ in faith and love, and not the ‘mere hearers,’ who, like parrots, have learned to utter certain expressions with readiness.

I simply taught, preached, wrote God’s Word: otherwise I did nothing. The Word of God did it all.

Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave.

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.

If we Christians would join the Wise Men, we must close our eyes to all that glitters before the world and look rather on the despised and foolish things, help the poor, comfort the despised, and aid the neighbor in his need.

Ah, if I could only pray the way that dog looks at meat.

Peace if possible, truth at all costs.

A professor can never better distinguish himself in his work than by encouraging a clever pupil, for the true discovers are among them, as comets amongst the stars.

Since new developments are the products of a creative mind, we must therefore stimulate and encourage that type of mind in every way possible.

We live in a world where not everyone has the urge to help others. It is OK to encourage others to pull themselves up by the bootstraps, but if you do, just remember that some people have no boots.

I truly believe that diversity is so important, and I hope that I can use my platform to encourage and inspire other aspiring female artists.

Writers are diffident creatures — they need encouragement.

Fear urged him to go back, but growth drove him on.

God does not dispense strength and encouragement like a druggist fills your prescription. The Lord doesn’t promise to give us something to take so we can handle our weary moments. He promises us Himself. That is all. And that is enough.

I do believe in encouraging a person to compete with herself… at Mary Kay Cosmetics, we’ve made that philosophy a company policy.
