Quotes from George Muller

It might be asked, 'How much time shall I allow myself for rest?'

Faith does not operate in the realm of the possible. There is no glory for God in that which is humanly possible. Faith begins where man's power ends.

The vigor of our spiritual life will be in exact proportion to the place held by the Bible in our life and thoughts.

The joy which answers to prayer give, cannot be described; and the impetus which they afford to the spiritual life is exceedingly great.

There is an intimate connection between the life of the Christian here and the enjoyment and the glory in the day of Christ's appearing.
