This fear of the Lord is indeed the beginning of wisdom. This consciousness of sin is the straight pathway to heaven.

This is God's work. Therefore it must be triumphant. There is no place for misgiving or despondency.

God helping me, I will help my brothers and sisters in Christ, because they are my brothers and sisters.

The success and the failure are not my concern, but His.

If you are apostles at all, you are apostles, not of men, nor by man. Your sufficiency is of God.

To make your people understand what righteousness is, this must be the basis of all your teaching.

Try to help others. Consult their weaknesses, relieve their maladies; strive to raise them up, and by so doing you will most effectually raise yourself up also.

This fear of the Lord is indeed the beginning of wisdom. This consciousness of sin is the straight pathway to heaven.

God gave you not a spirit of faithlessness, not a spirit of despair.

But there is another danger besetting your path. I mean the error of regarding your own capacities instead of your work, of putting self-consciousness in place of God.

God did not give you the spirit of cowardice.

I will not be discouraged by failure; I will not be elated by success.

It is strange to reflect how much energy is thrown away in attempting to know the unknowable.

Plant thy foot firmly in the prints which His foot has made before thee.

There will be no misgiving, no shrinking back, no calculation of overpowering odds, no terror of possible consequences, if you frankly accept the gift which God offers you tomorrow.

Words contract a significance which clings to them long after the condition of things to which they owe it has passed away.

So then put away, relentlessly away, all thought of the results. You cannot control them.

Yes, God is the end of your work, but He is the beginning also.

Yes, forget your weakness, whatever that weakness may be. It is egotism, it is selfishness after. all, for it is a dwelling on self. Forget your weakness; and remember your strength.

Not only must the message be correctly delivered, but the messenger himself must be such as to recommend it to acceptance.

God is the last link of the chain, but He is the first also.

You will bear a commission from God, for you have received a call from God.

The Church in England is the Church of England.

From the beginning, the series has been story driven - I began with a story idea - but research feeds it.

I don't write drafts. I write from the beginning to the end, and when it's finished, it's done.

Since the beginning, I always loved the game. When you grow up in Montreal, one day you want to be a professional hockey player. When I was six or seven, I knew that was what I wanted.

And that's how I start myself. I usually go back a couple of pages, maybe to the beginning of the chapter, and I start reading. And as I'm reading, I'm tweaking - putting in a different word, changing the syntax, putting that clause over there, you know that sort of thing.

Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.

Most musicians count at the beginning, and never count and talk to their musicians after that. They only talk to them at the end of the song. But I would count with them and talk.

What you really remember at the beginning was that you have to throw a budget together. We made some terrible mistakes at the beginning in my own budget that took us at least a year to catch up on.

There is a spirit and a need and a man at the beginning of every great human advance. Every one of these must be right for that particular moment of history, or nothing happens.

I am pleased to see that information campaigns, such as the America's WETLAND effort, are getting the message out, and people are beginning to realize that wetlands loss in Louisiana affects us all.

I started working on trying to sound like June from the very beginning.
