“If you want to change the world, pick up your pen and write.”

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.

Prayer is climbing up into the heart of God.

One is not righteous who does much, but the one who, without work, believes much in Christ. The law says, ‘Do this,’ and it is never done. Grace says, ‘Believe in this,’ and everything is already done.

Men do change, and change comes like a little wind that ruffles the curtains at dawn, and it comes like the stealthy perfume of wildflowers hidden in the grass.

We immediately become more effective when we decide to change ourselves rather than asking things to change for us.

Time, which changes people, does not alter the image we have retained of them.

When two people meet, each one is changed by the other so you’ve got two new people.

There are three constants in life, change, choice and principles.

To be free comes not from changing or fixing this world, but from seeing this world as it is and opening the heart in the midst of it.

If we want to change existing conditions, we must first transform ourselves, which means that we must become aware of our own actions, thoughts and feelings in everyday life.

That becomes the revolution, to be idealistic enough that you think you can change the world, and what you find is you can’t change anything but yourself.
