“Purge thy heart from malice and, innocent of envy, enter the divine court of holiness.”

Let not a man glory in this, that he loves his country; let him rather glory in this, that he loves his kind…

Let your eye be chaste, your hand faithful, your tongue truthful and your heart enlightened.

All peoples and nations are of one family, the children of one Father, and should be to one another as brothers and sisters.

The Word is the master key for the whole world, inasmuch as through its potency the doors of the hearts of men, which in reality are the doors of heaven, are unlocked.

In all matters moderation is desirable. If a thing is carried to excess, it will prove a source of evil.

Be generous in prosperity, and thankful in adversity. Be worthy of the trust of thy neighbor, and look upon him with a bright and friendly face. Be a treasure to the poor, an admonisher to the rich, an answerer of the cry of the needy, a preserver of the sanctity of thy pledge.

Lay not on any soul a load that you would not wish to be laid upon you, and desire not for any one the things you would not desire for yourself.

Bring thyself to account each day ere thou art summoned to a reckoning; for death, unheralded, shall come upon thee and thou shalt be called to give account for thy deeds.

Noble have I created thee, yet thou hast abased thyself. Rise then unto that for which thou wast created.

Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable mankind to benefit there from.

The true seeker hunts naught but the object of his quest, and the lover has no desire save union with his Beloved.

Verily we are from God, and to Him shall we return!

The True Seeker must, before all else, cleanse his heart.

Peace be upon him who follows the Straight Path!

The earth is but one country and mankind its citizens.

Speak no evil, that thou mayest not hear it spoken unto thee, and magnify not the faults of others that thine own faults may not appear great.

When I forget the power of the word, I read Frederick Buechner. When I forget the deep relief of telling the truth, I read Frederick Buechner. When I forget to look for the holiness all around me, I read Frederick Buechner. When I forget why the gospel matters, I read Frederick Buechner.

Whoever you are, you are human. Wherever you are, you live in the world, which is just waiting for you to notice the holiness in it.

Then each of you will control his own body and live in holiness and honor- not in lustful passion like the pagans who do not know God and his ways.

God will not give me humility, or patience, or holiness, or love as separate investments of His grace. He has given only one gift to meet our need, His Son Christ Jesus.

Revelation is the first step to holiness, and consecration is the second. A day must come in our lives, as definite as the day of our conversion, when we give up all right to ourselves and submit to the absolute Lordship of Jesus Christ.

I find nothing in the Bible but holiness, and nothing in the world but worldliness. Therefore, if I live in the world, I will become worldly; on the other hand, if I live in the Bible, I will become holy.

When the saint ceases to seek after holiness, purity, righteousness, truth; when he ceases to pray, stops reading the Word and gives way to carnal appetites, then it is that Satan comes.

You must refuse every- thing that is not pure and holy. God wants you pure in heart. He wants you to have an intense desire after holiness…
