"For the fetus, though enclosed in the womb of its mother, is already a human being, and it is a monstrous crime to rob it of the life which it has not yet begun to enjoy. If it seems more horrible to kill a man in his own house than in a field, because a man's house is his place of most secure refuge, it ought surely to be deemed more atrocious to destroy a fetus in the womb before it has come to light."
"We shall never be clothed with the righteousness of Christ except we first know assuredly that we have no righteousness of our own."
"Whatever a person may be like, we must still love them because we love God."
"I gave up all for Christ, and what have I found? Everything in Christ."
"A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God's truth is attacked and yet would remain silent."
