“If we are faithful to God in little things, we shall gain experience and strength that will be helpful to us in the more serious trials of life.”

The branch of the vine does not worry, and toil, and rush here to seek for sunshine, and there to find rain. No; it rests in union and communion with the vine…Let us so abide in the Lord Jesus.

There has never been a successful social movement for any minority without the support of the majority.

The real secret of an unsatisfied life lies too often in an unsurrendered will.

If the Lord is coming soon, is this not a very practical motive for greater missionary effort? I know of no other motive that has been so stimulating to myself.

I used to ask God to help me. Then I asked if I might help Him to do His work through me.

God’s work is not man working for God; it is God’s own work, though often wrought through man’s hands.

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

God is not looking for men of great faith, He is looking for common men to trust His great faithfulness.

Let us never forget that what we are is more important than what we do.

Christ liveth in me. And how great the difference…instead of bondage, liberty; instead of failure, quiet victories within; instead of fear and weakness, a restful sense of sufficiency in Another.

I have seen many men work without praying, though I have never seen any good come out of it; but I have never seen a man pray without working.

One difficulty follows another very fast – but God reigns, not chance.

Believing prayer will lead to whole-hearted action.

When I cannot read, when I cannot think, when I cannot even pray, I can trust.

As a rule, prayer is answered and funds come in, but if we are kept waiting, the spiritual blessing that is the outcome is far more precious than exemption from the trial.

Devotion to God is still a voluntary thing; hence the differences of attainment among Christians.

Experience may teach us what is, but never that it cannot be otherwise.

It is beyond a doubt that all our knowledge begins with experience.

I believe finally, that education must be conceived as a continuing reconstruction of experience; that the process and the goal of education are one and the same thing.

Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play.

In my experience, men who respond to good fortune with modesty and kindness are harder to find than those who face adversity with courage.

Men in plural, can experience meaningfulness only because they can talk with and make sense to each other and themselves.

I always find film-making a pleasurable experience.

Immersing ourselves in art and the immeasurable through being allows us a more truthful experience of the world.
