My only joys therefore are that when God has given me a work to do, I have not refused it.
Let us not glide through this world and then slip quietly into heaven, without having blown the trumpet loud and long for our Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Let us see to it that the devil will hold a thanksgiving service in hell, when he gets the news of our departure from the field of battle.

The light that shines farthest shines brightest nearest home.
Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.

For five years we never went outside our doors without a volley of curses from our neighbours.
True religion is like the smallpox. If you get it, you give it to others and it spreads.
