If it had not been for the love of God the Father looking down upon me in my utter ruin and providing a perfect atonement for me in the death of His own Son on the cross of Calvary, I would have been in hell to-day.
— from The Person and Work of The Holy Spirit by R. A. (Reuben Archer) Torrey
If it had not been for the love of Jesus Christ, the eternal Word of God, looking upon me in my utter ruin and in obedience to the Father, putting aside all the glory of heaven for all the shame of earth and taking my place, the place of the curse, upon the cross of Calvary and pouring out His life utterly for me, I would have been in hell to-day.
— from The Person and Work of The Holy Spirit by R. A. (Reuben Archer) Torrey
Too much flattery deceives us; we sleep; and more, it makes us ridiculous, and the day we become ridiculous we fall as we have fallen in Europe.
— from An Eagle Flight: A Filipino Novel Adapted from Noli Me Tangere by José Rizal
