“Frequently renew settled and holy resolutions. A soldier unresolved to fight may be easily defeated...The weakness of our graces, the strength of our temptations, and the diligence of our spiritual enemies, require strong resolutions.”

“We may be truly said to worship God, though we lack perfection; but we cannot be said to worship Him if we lack sincerity.”

“Since nothing but God is eternal, nothing but God is worth the loving.”

“... be radical about grace and relentless about truth and resolute about holiness...”

“Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolution.”

“When we arrive at the end of our own strength it is not defeat, but the start of tapping into God's boundless resources. It is when we are weak that we are strong in God.”

“It is the moment when our resolution seems about to become irrevocable - when the fatal iron gates are about to close upon us - that tests our strength. Then, after hours of clear reasoning and firm conviction, we snatch at any sophistry that will nullify our long struggles, and bring us the defeat that we love better than victory.”
