More quotes by Ellen G. White

Image
A Christian reveals true humility by showing the gentleness of Christ, by being always ready to help others, by speaking kind words and performing unselfish acts, which elevate and ennoble the most sacred message that has come to our world.
Ellen G. White
Image
But God will have a people upon the earth to maintain the Bible, and the Bible only, as the standard of all doctrines and the basis of all reforms.
Ellen G. White
Image
We need no fanciful teaching regarding the personality of God. What God desires us to know of Him is revealed in His word and His works. The beautiful things of nature reveal His character and His power as Creator.
Ellen G. White
Image
Sisters, when about their work, should not put on clothing which would make them look like images to frighten the crows from the corn. It is more gratifying to their husbands and children to see them in a becoming, well-fitting, attire, than it can be to merely visitors or strangers.
Ellen G. White
Image
Nature is the mirror of divinity.
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
Many are to believe on Christ through the communication of truth by His servants. As they see the beauty of the Word of God, and as they see Jesus revealed in the lives of His children, they will praise Him with heart and soul and voice.
Ellen G. White
Image
Youth without beauty is half a prize.
Ellen G. White
Image
Gather every promise. This is Jesus, the life of every grace, the life of every promise, the life of every ordinance, the life of every blessing.
Ellen G. White
Image
What man with a human heart, who has ever cared for domestic animals, could look into their eyes, so full of confidence and affection, and willingly give them over to the butcher's knife? How could he devour their flesh as a sweet morsel?
Ellen G. White
Image
I would warn my brethren and sisters to never flatter persons because of their ability for they cannot bear it. Self is easily exalted, and in consequence, persons lose their balance.
Ellen G. White
Image
The words of the Bible, and the Bible alone, should be heard from the pulpit.
Ellen G. White
Image
The Bible is God's great lesson book.
Ellen G. White
Image
Our clothing, while modest and simple, should be of good quality . . . It should be chosen for durability rather than display.
Ellen G. White
Image
Heaven is all health.
Ellen G. White
Image
God designed that the living machinery should be in daily activity. For in this activity or motion is its preserving power.... The more we exercise, the better will be the circulation of the blood.
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.
Ellen G. White
Image
Why the Christian life is so difficult to many is because they have a divided heart. They are double-minded, which makes them unstable in all their ways.
Ellen G. White
Image
The masses will reject any theory, however reasonable it may be, if it lays a restriction upon the appetite.
Ellen G. White
Image
God requires you individually to come up to the point, to make an entire surrender. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
