Ellen G. White

All the riches of the world are not of sufficient value to redeem one perishing soul. ”

Love works not for profit nor reward; yet God has ordained that great gain shall be the certain result of every labor of love. ”

Whatsoever is done out of pure love, be it ever so little or contemptible in the sight of men, is wholly fruitful; for God measures more with how much love one worketh, than the amount he doeth. ”

True love is not a strong, fiery, impetuous passion. It is, on the contrary, an element calm and deep. It looks beyond mere externals, and is attracted by qualities alone. It is wise and discriminating, and its devotion is real and abiding. ”

Souls cannot be saved without exertion. ”

Music is made one of Satan's most attractive agencies to ensnare souls; but, when turned to a good account, it is a blessing. When abused, it leads the unconsecrated to pride, vanity, and folly. ”

The great moral powers of the soul are faith, hope, and love. ”

The hope of eternal life is not to be taken up upon slight grounds. It is a subject to be settled between God and your own soul; settled for eternity. A supposed hope, and nothing more, will prove your ruin. ”

By the life we live through the grace of Christ, the character is formed. The original loveliness begins to be restored to the soul. The attributes of the character of Christ are imparted, and the image of the Divine begins to shine forth. ”

The life of Christ was a life of humble simplicity, yet how infinitely exalted was his mission. Christ is our example in all things. ”
