Nothing is worth doing at all, nothing is worth writing, which does not do something which will last.
Amy Carmichael
Image
If I do not give a friend The benefit of the doubt, but put the worst construction instead of the best on what is said or done, then I know nothing of Calvary love.
Amy Carmichael
Image
All along, let us remember we are not asked to understand, but simply to obey.
Amy Carmichael
Image
Love knows how to do without what it naturally wants. Love knows how to say, 'What does it matter.'
Amy Carmichael
Image
If I find myself half-carelessly taking lapses for granted, Oh, that's what they always do. Oh, of course she talks like that, he acts like that, then I know nothing of Calvary love.

Those who think too much of themselves don't think enough.
