My heart, which is so full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary.

You should point to the whole man Jesus and say, ''That is God.''

If he have faith, the believer cannot be restrained. He betrays himself. He breaks out. He confesses and teaches this gospel to the people at the risk of life itself.

Here I stand; I can do no other. God help me. Amen!

The human heart is like a ship on a stormy sea driven about by winds blowing from all four corners of heaven.

No one need think that the world can be ruled without blood. The civil sword shall and must be red and bloody.

Cannons and fire-arms are cruel and damnable machines; I believe them to have been the direct suggestion of the Devil. If Adam had seen in a vision the horrible instruments his children were to invent, he would have died of grief.

Christians are to be taught that the pope would and should wish to give of his own money, even though he had to sell the basilica of St. Peter, to many of those from whom certain hawkers of indulgences cajole money.

Every man must do two things alone; he must do his own believing and his own dying.

Peace if possible, but truth at any rate.
