As for our great King, when we venture into His presence, let us have a purpose there. Let us beware of playing at praying; it is insolence toward God.

Beware of no man more than of yourself; we carry our worst enemies within us.

O God, we praise Thee for keeping us till this day, and for the full assurance that Thou wilt never let us go.

Trials teach us what we are; they dig up the soil, and let us see what we are made of.

Let not a libation of tears be the only offering at the shrine of Jesus; let us also rejoice with joy unspeakable. If we have need to lament our sin, how much more to rejoice at our pardon!

If we are not our brother's keeper, at least let us not be his executioner.
