“We are the Bibles the world is reading; We are the creeds the world is needing; We are the sermons the world is heeding.”
“World events are moving very rapidly now. I pick up the Bible in one hand, and I pick up the newspaper in the other. And I read almost the same words in the newspaper as I read in the Bible. It’s being fulfilled every day round about us.”
“When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.”
“The happiness which brings enduring worth to life is not the superficial happiness that is dependent on circumstances. It is the happiness and contentment that fills the soul even in the midst of the most distressing circumstances and the most bitter environment. It is the kind of happiness that grins when things go wrong and smiles through the tears. The happiness for which our souls ache is one undisturbed by success or failure, one which will deeply root inside us and give us inward relaxation, peace, and contentment, no matter what the surface problems may be. That kind of happiness stands in need of no outward stimulas.”
“Tears shed for self are tears of weakness, but tears shed for others are a sign of strength.”
“When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.”
