“Let none, however difficult the circumstances, consider himself as debarred from the way of holiness. Have we but God and the cross of Christ, we have the means for becoming altogether holy in our walk and conversation. What dungeon is there that can shut us out from this? Only let us use the present location and means faithfully and truly, taking them from God's hand, and we shall find him able to free us from all that is really a hindrance. Let us each one desire to be a saint in his own place and calling, instead of building 'castles in the air' of future holiness.”

“In general, I think, human beings are happiest at table when they are very young, very much in love or very alone.”
“One thing that's clear in the Scriptures is that the nations do not lead people to peace; rather, people lead the nations to peace.”

“The only unnatural sex act is that which you cannot perform.”
