No One Can Be Great, Or Good,

He Who, With Strong Passions, Remains Chaste--he Who, Keenly Sensitive, With Manly Power Of Indignation In Him, Can Yet Restrain Himself And Forgive--these Are Strong Men, Spiritual Heroes.

In God's World, For Those Who Are In Earnest, There Is No Failure. No Work Truly Done, No Word Earnestly Spoken, No Sacrifice Freely Made, Was Ever Made In Vain (as Long As It Was Done Out Of Love, Not Personal Glory)

To Grieve Over Sin Is One Thing, To Repent Is Another.

In These Two Things The Greatness Of Man Consists, To Have God Dwelling In Us As To Impart His Character To Us, And To Have Him Dwelling In Us, That We Recognize His Presence, And Know That We Are His, And He Is Ours. The One Is Salvation; The Other, The Assurance Of It.

I Read Hard, Or Not At All; Never Skimming, Never Turning Aside To Merely Inciting Books; And Plato, Aristotle, Butler, Thucydides, Sterne, Jonathan Edwards, Have Passed Like The Iron Atoms Of The Blood Into My Mental Constitution.
