Man appears for a little while to laugh and weep, to work and play, and then to go to make room for those who shall follow him in the never-ending cycle.

Any manipulation of the Scriptures to make them speak peace to the natural man is evil and can only lead to ruin.

All things as they move toward God are beautiful, and they are ugly as they move away from Him.

Without doubt, the mightiest thought the mind can entertain is the thought of God, and the weightest word in any language is its word for God.

Self is the opaque veil that hides the Face of God from us. It can be removed only in spiritual experience, never by mere instruction.
