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

If it is true in anything, it is especially true of divine things, what costs little is worth little.

Truly Jesus is the great need of our souls.

A little thing is a little thing, but faithfulness in little things is a great thing.

The hardest part of a missionary career is to maintain regular, prayerful Bible study. Satan will always find you something to do, when you ought to be occupied about that – if it is only arranging a window blind!

God’s work done in God’s way will never lack God’s supply.

When the heart submits, then Jesus reigns. When Jesus reigns, there is rest.

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.

Success can only come to you by courageous devotion to the task lying in front of you.

You who are in power have only the means that money produces – we who are in expectation, have those which devotion prompts.

The number, the industry, and the morality of the priesthood, and the devotion of the people have been manifestly increased by the total separation of the church from the state.

Perpetual devotion to what a man calls his business is only to be sustained by perpetual neglect of many other things.

In a secularising world, art has replaced religion as a touchstone of our reverence and devotion.

No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.

Let not the wise disturb the mind of the unwise in their selfish work. Let him, working with devotion, show them the joy of good work.

Perhaps the most valuable thing he taught me (his father) was that there is no contradiction between devotion to work and enjoyment of life and people
