“To live according to the spirit is to love according to the spirit.”

There is nothing small in the service of God.

Nothing appeases an enraged elephant so much as the sight of a little lamb.

During the night we must wait for the light.

Faith is like a bright ray of sun light. It enables us to see God in all things as well as all things in God.

One single act done with aridity of spirit is worth more than many done with feelings of devotion.

Every Christian needs a half-hour of prayer each day, except when he is busy, then he needs an hour.
