Seek not only to know about the Saviour, but seek confidence in Him, seek to know Him as your own.

Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895)

Sweetness of spirit and sunshine is famous for dispelling fears and difficulties; patience is a mighty help to the burden-bearer.

The word of God is solid; it will stand a thousand readings; and the man who has gone over it the most frequently and the most carefully is the surest of finding new wonders there.

Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895)

Let every man examine his own sincerity, for every man must bear his own burden — the burden of his own sin —unless he has transferred it to the appointed Saviour.
