Dwight L. Moody

We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won't need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don't fire cannons to call attention to their shining- they just shine.

There is the joy of one's own salvation. I thought, when I first tasted that, it was the most delicious joy I had ever known, and that I could never get beyond it. But I found, afterward, there was something more joyful that, namely, the joy of the salvation of others.

'Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God' (Rom. 10:17). That is whence faith comes. It is not for me to sit down and wait for faith to come stealing over me with a strong sensation, but is for me to take God at His Word.

There is no greater honour than to be the instrument in God's hands of leading one person out of the kingdom of Satan into the glorious light of Heaven.

Many a professing Christian is a stumbling-block because his worship is divided. On Sunday he worships God; on weekdays God has little or no place in his thoughts.

Let us expect that God is going to use us. Let us have courage and go forward, looking to God to do great things.

If I could relive my life, I would devote my entire ministry to reaching children for God!

In our prayers, we talk to God, in our Bible study, God talks to us, and we had better let God do most of the talking.

God doesn't seek for golden vessels, and does not ask for silver ones, but He must have clean ones.

I have had more trouble with myself than with any other man I have ever met.

We ought to see the face of God every morning before we see the face of man.

A man can no more take in a supply of grace for the future than he can eat enough today to last him for the next 6 months, nor can he inhale sufficient air into his lungs with one breath to sustain life for a week to come. We are permitted to draw upon God's store of grace from day to day as we need it.

Every one of our children will be brought into the ark, if we pray and work earnestly for them.

A great many people are trying to make peace, but that has already been done. God has not left it for us to do; all we have to do is to enter into it.

If I take care of my character, my reputation will take care of me.

Everybody wants to enjoy heaven after they die, but they don't want to be heavenly-minded while they live.

If this world is going to be reached, I am convinced that it must be done by men and women of average talent.

I prayed for Faith, and thought that some day Faith would come down and strike me like lightning. But Faith did not seem to come. One day I read in the tenth chapter of Romans, 'Now Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God'. I had closed my Bible, and prayed for Faith. I now opened my Bible, and began to study, and Faith has been growing ever since.

Some men’s prayers need to be cut short at both ends and set on fire in the middle.

Happiness is caused by things that happen around me, and circumstances will mar it; but joy flows right on through trouble; joy flows in the night as well as in the day; joy flows through persecution and opposition. It is an unceasing fountain bubbling up in the heart; a secret spring the world can't see and doesn't know anything about.

I am glad there are things in the Bible I do not understand. If I could take that book up and read it as I would any other book, I might think I could write a book like that.
