“Satan may build a hedge about us and fence us in and hinder our movements, but he cannot roof us in and prevent our looking up.”

All our difficulties are only platforms for the manifestations of His grace, power and love.

In nothing do we fail more, as a Mission, than in lack of tact and politeness.

While unbelief sees the difficulties, faith sees God between itself and them.

Wave after wave of trial rolled over us; but at the end of the year some of us were constrained to confess, that we had learned more of the loving-kindness of the Lord than in any previous year of our lives.

If in the sight of God you cannot say you are sure that you have a special call to stay at home, why are you disobeying the Saviour’s plain command to go?

it is no small comfort to me to know that God has called me to my work, putting me where I am and as I am. I have not sought the position, and I dare not leave it. He knows why He places me here-whether to do, or learn, or suffer.

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.

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

I have God in my words and the devil in my ear, and a sister who keeps telling me to find my magic.

Wine is the first weapon that devils use in attacking the young.

Don’t want a complicated love. Just want you to grab my demons, kiss my madness and run away with me.

Keep doing some kind of work, that the devil may always find you employed.

Dance with me. Bring my demons to their knees.

Always be doing something worthwhile; then the devil will always find you busy.

Secrets of the past! Who does not wish to keep the past locked in a cage like a ferocious beast? The rich are sleepless for fear of thieves. The respectable have to guard their reputations in the same way.

Be ever engaged, so that whenever the devil calls he may find you occupied.
