There are two days in my calendar: This day and that Day.
There never yet have been, nor are there now, too many good books.
Every book is a great action and every great action is a book!
To gather with God's people in united adoration of the Father is as necessary to the Christian life as prayer.
The reproduction of mankind is a great marvel and mystery. Had God consulted me in the matter, I should have advised him to continue the generation of the species by fashioning them out of clay.
War is the greatest plague that can afflict humanity, it destroys religion, it destroys states, it destroys families. Any scourge is preferable to it.
I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I can do no other, so help me God. Amen.
Every man must do two things alone; he must do his own believing and his own dying.
You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say.
God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars.
There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage.
I feel much freer now that I am certain the pope is the Antichrist.
First I shake the whole Apple tree, that the ripest might fall. Then I climb the tree and shake each limb, and then each branch and then each twig, and then I look under each leaf.
The will is a beast of burden. If God mounts it, it wishes and goes as God wills; if Satan mounts it, it wishes and goes as Satan wills; Nor can it choose its rider... the riders contend for its possession.
Beautiful music is the art of the prophets that can calm the agitations of the soul; it is one of the most magnificent and delightful presents God has given us.
If he have faith, the believer cannot be restrained. He betrays himself. He breaks out. He confesses and teaches this gospel to the people at the risk of life itself.
Anyone who is to find Christ must first find the church. How could anyone know where Christ is and what faith is in him unless he knew where his believers are?
I shall never be a heretic; I may err in dispute, but I do not wish to decide anything finally; on the other hand, I am not bound by the opinions of men.
To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.
I am more afraid of my own heart than of the pope and all his cardinals. I have within me the great pope, Self.
