Who are we, what is our insight into other men’s hearts, that we should foreclose the time of their growth; that we should call for speed, when God, it may be, is patiently disengaging their minds from difficulties that we have never known;
Even the most perfect people have many imperfections, and we ourselves have no fewer.
There is always danger of misrepresentation in the attempt to present a view that is not one’s own.
Love of the last word has made more bitterness in families, and spoiled more Christians than it is worth.
The two great banes of humanity are self-conceit and the laziness coming from self-conceit.
A little reflection will enable any person to detect in himself that setness in trifles which is the result of the unwatched instinct of self-will….
Our rash faults
Make trivial price of serious things we have,
Not knowing them, until we know their grave.
It comes far easier to scold our friend, in an angry moment, than to say how much we love, honour, and esteem him in a kindly mood.
Christian simplicity should be our most beautiful adornment…..
our Lord thoroughly furnishes each of His soldiers for his work, and places before each the task he has to do.
