• If your path had been smooth, you would have depended upon your own surefootedness; but God roughened the path, so you have to take hold of His hand. If the weather had been mild, you would have loitered along the watercourses, but at the first howl of the storm you quickened your pace heavenward and wrapped around you the warm robe of Saviour's righteousness.

• Take not into your ear that scum of hell that people call tittle-tattle. Whosoever willingly listens to a slander is equally guilty with the one who tells it, and an old writer says they ought both to be hanged; the one by the tongue and the other by the ear. Do not smile upon such a spaniel, lest like a pleased dog, he puts his dirty paw upon you.

• La turba que persiguió a Cristo desde Jerusalén hasta "el lugar de una calavera" nunca se ha dispersado, sino que sigue aumentando, a medida que muchos de los eruditos del mundo y grandes hombres del mundo salen de sus estudios y sus laboratorios y sus palacios, y gritan: "¡Fuera con este hombre! Fuera con él!" La hostilidad más amarga que muchos de los hombres eruditos de este día ejercen en cualquier dirección la ejercen contra Jesucristo el Hijo de Dios, el Salvador del mundo.

• The Bible is a warm letter of affection from a parent to a child; and yet there are many who see chiefly the severer passages. As there may be fifty or sixty nights of gentle dews in one summer, that will not cause as much remark as one hailstorm of half an hour, so there are those who are more struck by those passages of the Bible that announce the indignation of God than by those that announce His affection.

• Eres un hombre libre, y no dejes que ninguna organización se interponga entre tú y tus mejores intereses. No permita que ningún hombre, o ningún grupo de hombres, le diga dónde debe trabajar o dónde no, cuándo debe trabajar o cuándo no. Si un hombre quiere pertenecer a una organización laboral, que pertenezca. Si no quiere pertenecer a una organización laboral, que tenga perfecta libertad para no hacerlo. Tú eres dueño de ti mismo. Que nadie te ponga un grillete en la mano, en el pie, en la cabeza o en el corazón.

• You can graduate a man's progress in religion by the amount of prayer, not by the number of hours perhaps, but by the earnest supplication that he puts up to God. There is no exception to the rule. Show me a man who prays and his strength and his power cannot by exaggerated. Just give to a man this power of prayer and you give him almost omnipotence.

• At the beginning God said: "Let there be light," and light was, and light is, and light shall be. So Christianity is rolling on, and it is going to warm all nations, and all nations are to bask in its light. Men may shut the window-blinds so they cannot see it, or they may smoke the pipe of speculation until they are shadowed under their own vaporing; but the Lord God is a sun!

• A lawyer is sometimes required to search titles, and the client who thinks he has good right to an estate, puts the papers in his hands, and the attorney goes into the public records and finds everything right for three or four years back; but after a time he comes to a break in the title. So he finds that the man who supposed he owned it owns not an acre of the ground which belongs to someone else. I trace the title of this world from century to century until I find the whole right vested in God. Now to whom did he give it? To his own children. All are yours.

• If the bones of all those who have fallen as a prey to intemperance could be piled up it would make a vast pyramid. Who will gird himself for the journey and try with me to scale this mountain of the dead--going up miles high on human carcasses to find still other peaks far above, mountain above mountain, white with the bones of drunkards.

• I move for a creed for all our denominations made out of Scripture quotations, pure and simple. That would be impregnable against infidelity and Appolyonic assault. That would be beyond human criticism. Let us make it simpler and plainer for people to get into the Kingdom of God.

• La distancia entre el capital y el trabajo no es un gran abismo sobre el que se balancea un puente colgante del Niágara; es sólo un paso, y los obreros de aquí cruzarán y se convertirán en capitalistas y los capitalistas cruzarán y se convertirán en obreros. Ojalá se dieran la mano mientras cruzan, los de un lado y los del otro.

• Oh! if you could only hear Intemperance with drunkards' bones drumming on the top of the wine cask the Dead March of immortal souls, you would go home and kneel down and pray God that rather than your children should ever become the victims of this evil habit, you might carry them out to Greenwood and put them down in the last slumber, waiting for the flowers of spring to come over the grave-sweet prophecies of the resurrection. God hath a balm for such a Wound, but what flower of comfort ever grew on the blasted heath of a drunkard's sepulcher?
