“I am not what I ought to be, I am not what I want to be, I am not what I hope to be in another world; but still I am not what I once used to be, and by the grace of God I am what I am”

“Amazing grace! how sweet the soundThat saved a wretch like me! I once was lost but now am found,Was blind but now i see.”

“I am still in the land of the dying; I shall be in the land of the living soon. (his last words)”

“I am what I am, and what I am is what I am. I have a will to be what I am, and what I will be is only what I am. If I have a will to be, I will to be no more than what I was. If I was what I am willed to be, yet they ever will be wondering what I am or what I ever was. I want to change the Wall, and make my will. ”

“Although my memory's fading, I remember two things very clearly: I am a great sinner and Christ is a great Savior.”

“I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And what I can do, I ought to do. And what I ought to do, by the grace of God, I shall do.”

“I am what I wanted and I want what I am.”
