“In one long glorious acknowledgment of failure, he laid himself bare before God.”

“No one can speak of the beginning but the one who was in the beginning. Thus the Bible begins with God's free affirmation, free acknowledgment, free revelation of himself: In the beginning God created...”

“No man likes to acknowledge that he has made a mistake in the choice of his profession, and every man, worthy of the name, will row long against wind and tide before he allows himself to cry out, 'I am baffled!' and submits to be floated passively back to land.”

“The great difference between the carnal and the spiritual Christian is that the latter acknowledges God, under whatever low and poor and human appearances He manifests Himself.”

“The little cloud drifting before their glorious sun will darken the earth as long as I please.”

“Don't fear failure. — Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.”
