Lord, if it be most for thy glory, let me proceed in it; but if thou seest that it will in any wise hinder my usefulness in thy cause, oh prevent my proceeding…all I want, respecting this world, is such circumstances as may best capacitate me to do service for God in the world.

I have great respect for a man who can stand up for what he believes is right against all the world. He who can stand alone is a hero.

—D. L. Moody

No one can truly recognize the equality of people in life as well as children can. So how criminal it is for adults to teach them that there are kings, rich men & celebrities whom you must respect, and servants, workers and beggars whom you’re allowed to treat with condescension.

Above all, don’t lie to yourself.

—Fyodor Dostoevsky

O my friends, it is not enough that the object of your duties is spiritual, that they respect a holy God or that the matter is spiritual, that you be conversant about holy things; but that the frame of your heart must be spiritual, a heavenly temper of soul is necessary.
