“By running away you have him as your judge; have him as a father by coming back to him.” (Page 415)

“What more could a judge do in your favor than to tell you beforehand what his final sentence would be, so that you could avoid incurring it? Brothers and sisters, when someone threatens, it means he doesn’t want to strike; because if he jumped on you without warning, he would also strike. Anyone who says, ‘Watch out,’ doesn’t want to find anybody to strike. People positively invite a beating, people actually buy themselves punishment, if in spite of God saying so often and so long, ‘Watch out,’ they refuse to believe him.” (Page 173)

“Imagine that we are now toiling away in what we do, toiling away as we work, only to reap the benefit in due course, as it is written: Going they were going and weeping, casting their seed; but coming they shall come with rejoicing, carrying their sheaves (Ps 126:6).” (Page 75)
