I thank you for my friends, for those who understand me better than I understand myself. For those who know me at my worst, and still like me. For those who have forgiven me when I had no right to expect to be forgiven. Help me to be as true to my friends as I would wish them to be to me.

William Barclay
Image
Pride is the ground in which all the other sins grow, and the parent from which all the other sins come.
William Barclay
Image
The Christian man must aim at that complete obedience to God in which life finds its highest happiness, its greatest good, its perfect consummation, its peace.
William Barclay
Image
If a man fights his way through his doubts to the conviction that Jesus Christ is Lord, he has attained to a certainty that the man who unthinkingly accepts things can never reach.
William Barclay
Image
Endurance is not just the ability to bear a hard thing, but to turn it into glory.
William Barclay
Image
The danger of prosperity is that it encourages a false independence.
William Barclay
Image
Self-defense is a part of the law of nature nor can it be denied the community, even against the king himself.
William Barclay
Image
Instead of our petulant, fretful, irritable human hastiness we should cultivate in our souls the patience which has learned to wait on God.
