"Doctrine is the frame-work of life; it is the skeleton of truth, to be clothed and rounded out by the living graces of a holy life. It is only the lean creature whose bones become offensive."

"A mightier love for the Son of God, to overpower and subdue and lead captive these wayward and truant affections of the natural heart — this is what is needed."

"Sorrow is only one of the lower notes in the oratorio of our blessedness."

"You can do more than pray after you have prayed, but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed."
