My God, help me always resolutely to strive, and through life and death, to force my way unto Thee. - Christian Scriver

My God! my time is in Thy hands. Should it please Thee to lengthen my life, and complete, as Thou hast begun, the work of blanching my locks, grant me grace to wear them as an unsullied crown of honour.

Jesus, save me from the infatuation of avarice! I too will lay up a treasure, but Thou shalt have the keeping of it.

The whole of Christianity is comprised in three things — to believe, to love, and to obey Jesus. These are things, however, which we must be learning all our life.
