men hands curiosity
The shiny paint laid on by curiosity's hand has worn off. What thing better can a man know than the love of Christ, which passes knowledge?
men thinking missionary
I do not know how to make a man think seriously about sin and judgment, and must look to the work of the Holy Spirit for any hint of such a working.
lying mean men
I have had to make a cross of two logs, and lie down on it, to show the Indians what it means to crucify a man.
men laziness firsts

cannot fool gain gives
He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.
principles lord impulse
I many no longer depend on pleasant impulses to bring me before the Lord. I must rather response to principles I know to be right, whether I feel them to be enjoyable or not.
sister thinking sparring-partner
It is true that a fellow cannot ignore women - but he can think of them as he ought - as sisters, not as sparring partners.
forget
So many missionaries, intent on doing something, forget that His main work is to make something of them...
