“No one else holds or has held the place in the heart of the world which Jesus holds. Other gods have been as devoutly worshipped; no other man has been so devoutly loved.”

I have never once feared the devil, but I tremble every time I enter the pulpit.

A man with God is always in the majority.

How good we are as preachers depends – not altogether, but (make no mistake!) primarily – on how good we are as men.

Let no day slip over without some comfort received from the mouth of God.

Prayer is an earnest and familiar talking with God.

Live in Christ, die in Christ, and the flesh need not fear death.

Here lies one who neither flattered nor feared any flesh.

When I think of those who have influenced my life the most, I think not of the great but of the good.

You cannot antagonize and influence at the same time.

But hereof be assured, that all is not lawful nor just that is statute by civil laws; neither yet is everything sin before God, which ungodly persons allege to be treason.

Lord, give me Scotland or I die!

I cannot praise the common superfluity which women now use in their apparel.

O Lord Eternal, move and govern my tongue to speak the truth.

Ye be proud contemners of the free grace of God offered to man in Christ Jesus. For with the Pelagians and Papists ye are become teachers of free will, and defenders of your own righteousness.

Those who have arrived at any very eminent degree of excellence in the practice of an art or profession have commonly been actuated by a species of enthusiasm in their pursuit of it. They have kept one object in view amidst all the vicissitudes of time and torture.

Study to practice in life that which the Lord commands, and then be you assured that you shall never hear nor read the same without fruit.

If you believe in what you are doing, then let nothing hold you up in your work.

Lately, none of what seems to matter when I’m holding you and maybe, baby, we’re getting better.

It is your holy work, to deeply love, honor and respect the precious self that you are, the soul that only you hold.

Trust is the glue that holds an org together & the lubricant that moves it forward.

We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles.

I’m holding onto you, like a cloud holds rain. Knowing at some point I must let go. But waiting for the perfect storm, that will make it so much easier.

I pity from the bottom of my heart any individual who is so unfortunate as to get into the habit of holding race prejudice, for nothing else makes one so blind and narrow.

There is no love affair held in these hands. I am reminded of this time and again.
