“To say to the slave who has not been emancipated 'Do not behave as a slave' is to mock his enslavement. But to say the same to the slave who has been set free is the necessary appeal to put into effect the privileges and rights of his liberation.”
“There is no king who has not had a slave among his ancestors, and no slave who has not had a king among his.”
“There has never been a slave who did not choose to be a slave. Their choice may be between bondage and death, but the choice is always there.”
“The man who has no inner life is the slave of his surroundings.”
“To say that an idea is fashionable is to say, I think, that it has been adulterated to a point where it is hardly an idea at all.”
“No slave is a slave to the same lengths, and in so full a sense of the word, as a wife is.”
“The Lord gave the wonderful promise of the free use of His Name with the Father in conjunction with doing His works. The disciple who lives only for Jesus' work and Kingdom, for His will and honor, will be given the power to appropriate the promise. Anyone grasping the promise only when he wants something very special for himself will be disappointed, because he is making Jesus the servant of his own comfort. But whoever wants to pray the effective prayer of faith because he needs it for the work of the Master will learn it, because he has made himself the servant of his Lord's interests.”
