Hebrews 11:33-34 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions.… Little do I care if you become fools for Christ's sake.

Mr. Plimsoll did nobly when he stood up and pleaded against coffin-ships; but he was never so strong as when he lost himself, and broke the rules of the House in the ardour of his passion.

When the truth conquers us we shall conquer by the truth. (C. H. Spurgeon.)
