“If they neglect watchfulness and prayer, and become careless, they may, in one day lose Christ; but it may take many days of anxious, sorrowful search to find him again, and to enjoy the peace of mind and consolation of his grace that they lost through vain talking, jesting, joking, and evil speaking, or even neglect of prayer.” (Page 32)
“It was this: That even the heathen, who live according to the best light they have, doing right so far as they are able to distinguish right from wrong, are regarded with greater favor by God than those who, having great light, make high pretensions to godliness, but whose daily lives contradict their profession.” (Page 114)

Human love is a sacred attribute; but should not be allowed to mar our religious experience, or draw our hearts from God.” (Pages 101–102)
“But he sometimes delays bestowing his precious gifts, in order to impress our hearts with a sense of our deep need of that true piety which entitles us to ask of him what we will.” (Page 156)
“If the children of men would follow the example of their Saviour, and hold no converse with Satan, they would be spared many a defeat at his hands.” (Page 93)
