“‘Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors, through Him that loved us.’ Our trials will be turned to helps; our enemies will be taken prisoners and made to fight our battles.” (Page 300)

“What is meant by the peace that passeth all understanding? It does not mean a peace no one can comprehend. It means a peace that no amount of reasoning will bring. You cannot get it by thinking. There may be perfect bewilderment and perplexity all round the horizon, but yet your heart can rest in perfect security because He knows, He loves, He leads.” (Page 282)

“The two deepest secrets of rest are, first, to be in harmony with the will of God, and, secondly, to trust.” (Page 115)

“The real secret of perfect rest is to be jealously, habitually occupied with Jesus.” (Page 129)

“The old Latin motto festina lente, ‘make haste slowly,’ has a great lesson for us. The more work we have to do, the more frequently we have to drop our head upon our desk and wait a little for heavenly aid and love, and then press on with new strength. One hour baptized in the love of the Holy Ghost is worth ten battling against wind and tide without the heavenly life.” (Page 334)
