“Faith is spiritualized imagination.”

See to it that each hour’s feelings, and thoughts, and actions are pure and true; then will your life be such.

It is not when the cable lies coiled up on the deck that you know how strong or how weak it is; it is when it is put to the test.

As warmth makes even glaciers trickle, and opens streams in the ribs of frozen mountains, so the heart knows the full flow and life of its grief only when it begins to melt and pass away.

It is not merely cruelty that leads men to love war, it is excitement.

People may talk about the equality of the sexes! They are not equal. The silent smile of a sensible, loving woman will vanquish ten men.

No grace can save any man unless he helps himself.

Happiness is not the end of life: character is.

Where is human nature so weak as in the bookstore?

To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.

Faith grows when it is planted in the fertile soil of God’s Word.

I’m choosing faith over worry even though its hard.

For Faith is the beginning and the end is love, and God is the two of them brought into unity. After these comes whatever else makes up a Christian gentleman.

The greatest legacy one can pass on to one’s children and grandchildren is not money or other material things accumulated in one’s life, but rather a legacy of character and faith.

When I lost hope, hope came and found me, when I stopped believing in faith, faith believed in me.

Unless there is an element of risk in our exploits for God, there is no need for faith.

Our world is obsessed with success. But how does God define success? Success in God’s eyes is faithfulness to His calling.
