“Lord, teach me to listen. The times are noisy and my ears are weary with the thousand raucous sounds which continuously assault them. Give me the spirit of the boy Samuel when he said to Thee, ‘Speak, for thy servant heareth.’ Let me hear Thee speaking in my heart. Let me get used to the sound of Thy Voice that its tones may be familiar when the sounds of earth die away and the only sound will be the music of Thy speaking Voice.”
“Faith is occupied with the Object upon which it rests and pays no attention to itself at all. While we are looking at God, we do not see ourselves—blessed riddance.”
“We are right when and only when we stand in a right position relative to God, and we are wrong so far and so long as we stand in any other position.”
“Jesus never uttered opinions. He never guessed; He knew, and He knows.”
“The meek man cares not at all who is greater than he, for he has long ago decided that the esteem of the world is not worth the effort….He knows well that the world will never see him as God sees him and he has stopped caring.”
