“NOT EXERCISING SELF-CONTROL IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE VAST MAJORITY OF OUR PROBLEMS AND FAILURES.” “NOT EXERCISING SELF-CONTROL GREATLY STRENGTHENS THE DEVIL, WHILE EXERCISING SELF-CONTROL GREATLY WEAKENS THE DEVIL.” “IN 1776 AMERICA CONQUERED HER FATHERS. IN 1862 AMERICA CONQUERED HER BROTHERS. IN 2009, AMERICANS HAVE NOT YET CONQUERED THEMSELVES.”
“SIN WILL NOT LEAVE MAN UNTIL MAN IS DETERMINED TO LEAVE SIN.” “THE CONDITION OF MAN’S HEART IS SHOWN MORE BY ONE SIN THAT HE LOVES AND HOLDS DEAR THAN BY TWENTY SINS THAT HE HATES AND REJECTS.”
“NO ONE IS SO BAD AS THE DEVIL, AND NOTHING IS SO BAD AS A LIE.” “EVEN AS NOTHING IS SO ENCOURAGING AND REFRESHING TO THE HUMAN EYE AS LIGHT, SO NOTHING IS AS EMPOWERING ANDLIBERATING TO THE HUMAN MIND AS TRUTH.”
