It is not the number of books you read, nor the variety of sermons you hear, nor the amount of religious conversation in which you mix, but it is the frequency and earnestness with which you meditate on these things till the truth in them becomes your own and part of your being, that ensures your growth.
Frederick William Robertson
In God's world, for those who are in earnest, there is no failure. No work truly done, no word earnestly spoken, no sacrifice freely made, was ever made in vain.
Frederick William Robertson
There are three things in the world that deserve no mercy, hypocrisy, fraud, and tyranny.

Never does a man know the force that is in him till some mighty affliction or grief has humanized the soul.

The charm of the words of great men, those grand sayings which are recognized as true as soon as heard, is this, that you recognize them as wisdom which has passed across your own mind. You feel that they are your own thoughts come back to you, else you would not at once admit them. 'All of that has floated across me before, only I could not say it, and did not feel confident enough to assert it or had not conviction enough to put it into words.' Yes, God spoke to you what He did to them only, they believed it, said it, trusted the Word within them and you did not. Be sure that often when you say, 'It is only my own poor thought, and I am alone,' the real correcting thought is this 'Alone, but the Father is with me, and therefore I can live that lonely conviction.'
