“A Christian in the world is one thing, and the world in a Christian is quite another thing. A ship in the water is all right, but when the water gets in the ship, it is quite a different thing.”

Be humble, or you’ll stumble.

Someone has said that there are four things necessary in studying the Bible: Admit, submit, commit and transmit.

The Lord gives his people perpetual joy when they walk in obedience to him.

No one can sum up all God is able to accomplish through one solitary life, wholly yielded, adjusted, and obedient to Him.

I cannot convert men; I can only proclaim the Gospel.

Give your life to God; he can do more with it than you can!

The world does not understand theology or dogma, but it understands love and sympathy.

Grace means undeserved kindness. It is the gift of God to man the moment he sees he is unworthy of God’s favor.

I thought when I became a Christian I had nothing to do but just to lay my oars in the bottom of the boat and float along. But I soon found that I would have to go against the current.

If you have so much business to attend to that you have no time to pray, depend upon it that you have more business on hand than God ever intended you should have.

I believe Satan exists for two reasons: first, the Bible says so, and second, I’ve done business with him.

If God has given you a message, go and give it to the people as God has given it to you. It is a stupid thing to try to be eloquent.

If you pray for bread and bring no basket to carry it, you prove the doubting spirit, which may be the only hindrance to the boon you ask.

Satan is willing to have us worship anything, however sacred – the Bible, the crucifix, the church – if only we do not worship God Himself.

We may not be able to do any great thing; but if each of us will do something, however small it may be, a good deal will be accomplised for God.

If I take care of my character, my reputation will take care of me.

Someday I will wake up in a different place with a different life.

There are ultimately two choices in life: to fight it or to embrace it. If you fight it you will lose – if you embrace it you become one with it and you’ll be lived.

Everybody should take each other as they are, white, black, Indians, Creole. Then there would be no prejudice, nations would get along.

We are no different – we go back to anyone just to have something to do.

We admit as many genera as there are different groups of natural species of which the fructification has the same structure.

If you have a clear idea of a soul, you will have a clear idea of a form; for it is of the same genus, though a different species.

I wonder how different the world would be if we all said what we meant and meant what we said? – speak up.

My experience of singing, as an actor, was that there’s a different creative feeling of freedom. The acting thing is a bit more defined and cerebral. I can see why people would want to cross over. If you have so much freedom on stage then perhaps you want to be confined a bit, and vice versa.
