Joseph Barber Lightfoot

“The success and the failure are not my concern, but His.”

“We do not realise that we are children of eternity. If we did, then success would be no success, and failure would be no failure to us.”

“The future is hidden by a dark impenetrable veil, and yet we struggle to pierce through it.”

“Plant thy foot firmly in the prints which His foot has made before thee.”

“Yes, forget your weakness, whatever that weakness may be. It is egotism, it is selfishness after. all, for it is a dwelling on self. Forget your weakness and remember your strength.”

“Eternal truth, eternal righteousness, eternal love these only can triumph, for these only can endure.”

“This fear of the Lord is indeed the beginning of wisdom. This consciousness of sin is the straight pathway to heaven.”
