HEAVEN does not make holiness, but holiness makes heaven.

Righteousness, shaped from within to without in the world of men, is justice, and the doing of justice.   

If we would follow the eccentricity of our Master, let it not be in asceticism, in denunciation, in punctiliousness, and scruples about trifles, but in largeness of heart, singleness of eye, true breadth of character, true love to men, and heroism for Christ.

Service always ready to become sacrifice is the condition of our growth, and the condition of our joy.

THE sanction of this Law (the Christian Law) is not fear of punishment, but that self-surrender to an ever-present Lord, of those who are His slaves at once and His friends, which is perfect freedom. 

In each generation the obligation is laid on Christians to bring new problems of conduct and duty into the Divine light, and to find their solution under the teaching of the Spirit. 

 If you love, you will unconsciously fulfil the whole law…

We are told to visit them that are in prison.   A good thing, but it were better if we could save them going there.   We are told to visit the sick;  it were better still, and we should so better have fulfilled the law, if we could have saved some of them from falling sick.

Perhaps there is nothing which so mars and spoils the religious life as bad temper and selfishness.
