• Everyone is in a hurry. The persons whom I lead in worship, among whom I counsel, visit, pray, preach, and teach, want shortcuts. They want me to help them fill in the form that will get them instant credit (in eternity). They are impatient for results. They have adopted the lifestyle of a tourist and only want the high points. . . . The Christian life cannot mature under such conditions and in such ways.

• A man who imagines that because he has a head full of knowledge that he is sufficient for these things had better start learning again. 'Who is sufficient for these things?' What are you doing?

• [Tho]ugh death be a dark passage; it leads to immortality, and that is recompense enough for suffering of it.

For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity.

  William Penn

I believe you can be in the world but not of the world.
