Quote

The mother cannot expect her daughter to understand the mysteries of housekeeping without education. She should instruct them patiently, lovingly, and make the work as agreeable as she can by her cheerful countenance and encouraging words of approval. If they fail once, twice, or thrice, censure not.

The people are hungry for the bread of life. Do not offer them a stone.
Ellen G. White
Image
Flesh-meats will depreciate the blood. Cook meat with spices, and eat it with rich cakes and pies, and you have a bad quality of blood.
Ellen G. White
Image
We have nothing to fear for the future, except as we shall forget the way the Lord has led us, and His teaching in our past history.
Ellen G. White
Image
There shall be no more sin, neither shall there beany more death.
Ellen G. White
Image
In regard to infallibility, I never claimed it God alone is infallible. His word is true, and in Him is no variableness, or shadow of turning.
Ellen G. White
Image
The stomach, when we lie down to rest, should have its work done, that it may enjoy rest, as well as other portions of the body. The work of digestion should not be carried on through any period of the sleeping hours.
Ellen G. White
Image
We are all woven together in the great web of humanity, and whatever we can do to benefit and uplift others will reflect in blessing upon ourselves.
Ellen G. White
Image
None are so sinful that they cannot find strength, purity, and righteousness in Jesus, who died for them.
Ellen G. White
Image
Ministers should impress upon the people the necessity of individual effort. No church can flourish unless its members are workers. The people must lift where the ministers lift.
Ellen G. White
Image
Whatsoever is done out of pure love, be it ever so little or contemptible in the sight of men, is wholly fruitful for God measures more with how much love one worketh, than the amount he doeth.
Ellen G. White
Image
Look up, look up, and let your faith continually increase. Let this faith guide you along the narrow path that leads through the gates of the city into the great beyond, the wide, unbounded future of glory that is for the redeemed.
Ellen G. White
Image
Be what you wish your children to be. Parents have perpetuated by precept and example their own stamp of character to their posterity.
Ellen G. White
Image
God has a church upon the earth, who are His chosen people, who keep His commandments. He is leading, not stray offshoots, not one here and one there, but a people. The truth is a sanctifying power, but the church militant is not yet the church triumphant.
Ellen G. White
Image
The young among us are, as a general thing, allied to the world. But few maintain a special warfare against the internal foe. But few have an earnest, anxious desire to know and do the will of God.
Ellen G. White
Image
It is a universal principle that whenever one refuses to use his God-given powers, these powers decay and perish.
Ellen G. White
Image
Nature is the mirror of divinity.
Ellen G. White
Image
A minister of Jesus Christ should not be regardless of his attitude. If he is the representative of Jesus Christ, his deportment, his attitude, his gestures, should be of that character which will not strike the beholder with disgust.
Ellen G. White
Image
The hope of eternal life is not to be taken up upon slight grounds. It is a subject to be settled between God and your own soul settled for eternity. A supposed hope, and nothing more, will prove your ruin.
Ellen G. White
Image
Ministers should not pray so loud, and long, as to exhaust the strength. It is not necessary to weary the throat and lungs in prayer. God's ear is ever open to hear the heart-felt petitions of his humble servants, and he does not require them to wear out the organs of speech in addressing him.

Pure air, good water, sunshine, the beautiful surroundings of nature...these are God's means for restoring the sick to health.
