Whatever universe a professor believes in must at any rate be a universe that lends itself to lengthy discourse. A universe definable in two sentences is something for which the professorial intellect has no use. No faith in anything of that cheap kind!

We must not sit still and look for miracles up and doing and the Lord will be with thee. Prayer and pains through faith in Christ Jesus will do anything.

There is nothing that wastes the body like worry and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.

A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.

God will never give you anything you can't handle so don't stress.

If patience is worth anything it must endure to the end of time. And a living faith will last in the midst of the blackest storm.
