“Let us be very careful that we never exalt any minister, or sermon, or book, or friend above the Word of God.”

Fear not because your prayer is stammering, your words feeble, and your language poor. Jesus can understand you.

Backsliding, generally first begins with neglect of private prayer.

Let us strive, every year we live, to become more deeply acquainted with Scripture.

There are eternal consequences resulting from all our thoughts, words and actions, of which we take far too little account.

If you want to find out how much someone loves you, find out how much they pray for you.

We must read our Bibles like men digging for hidden treasure.

Whatever you read, read the Bible first. Beware of bad books: there are plenty in this day. Take heed what you read.

A Christian is a walking sermon. They preach far more than a minister does, for they preach all week long.

The fear of punishment, the desire of reward, the sense of duty, are all useful arguments, in their way, to persuade people to holiness. But they are all weak and powerless, until a person loves Christ.

God does not look at riches, titles, education, or beauty. There is only one thing that God does look at, and that is the soul.

Our prayers may be weak, stammering, and poor in our eyes. But if they come from a right heart, God understands them. Such prayers are His delight.

Unity without the gospel is a worthless unity; it is the very unity of hell.

Love should be the silver thread that runs through all your conduct.

There is only one door, one bridge, one ladder, between earth and heaven – the crucified Son of God.

We can never make too much of Christ. He is worthy of all the honor that we can give Him.

The Word of God is ROCK. All else is sand.

A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.

From the moment I picked up your book until I put it down, I was convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend reading it.

I think it’s the books that you read when you’re young that live with you forever.

Writing for children is murder. A chapter has to be boiled down to a paragraph. Every word has to count.

No book ever ends, when it’s full of your friends.

Books must be read as deliberately and reservedly as they were written.

The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.

My books are water; those of the great geniuses is wine. Everybody drinks water.
