Letter "W" » William Barclay Quotes
«There are two great days in a person's life -- the day we are born and the day we discover why.»

«Endurance is not just the ability to bear a hard thing, but to turn it into glory.»

It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little.

And yet the fact remains that there is no conceivable way of proving that we love God other than by loving men. And there is no conceivable way of proving that we love men than by doing something for those who most need help.»
