If we open our eyes and see, nothing is really wanting, except the resolve to build.

…many people had no criterion of values; they filled their lives with petty engagements, and smilingly lamented that they had no time to think or read.

Those men and women who see no visions and have not perception of that which is invisible, but keep their eyes steadfastly fixed on things too small to be considered at all, magnify trifles till their spiritual microscope transforms a midge into a monster, and a drop of rain into a regular witch’s cauldron.

…..Be more under His influence than under any other influence.   Ten minutes spent in His society every day, ay, two minutes if it be face to face, and heart to heart, will make the whole day different.
