"You do not possess a soul. You are a soul; you possess a body. If we find a longing within ourselves that no experience in this world can satisfy, the most likely explanation is that we were created for another world."

"Faith is not an ornament, but a complete transformation of the soul. If a person claims to be a believer but is unwilling to relinquish their old idols and vices, their faith is like a tree without roots. True followers should be like guiding lights, unafraid of the darkness, illuminating the path for those who have not yet come to know the true light."

"Christianity rejects the brutal division of humanity into soul and body, or life into material and spiritual. It is impossible to effectively address one type of suffering while simultaneously ignoring the other. Christ touches the body by healing the soul and demonstrates moral restoration by alleviating physical pain."

"If Christians could see with their own eyes the thousands upon thousands of souls heading toward destruction, they would never hesitate to go on missions again; for we are not only recipients of salvation, but also transmitters of light, and to hide it away would be to fail the Lord who called us."

"The body is the dwelling place of the soul; the soul is the spirit bestowed by the Lord. Although the body is made of earth and will eventually return to earth, its wondrous structure is sufficient to carry the soul to do good deeds, contemplate truth, and be grateful for the Lord's grace. Therefore, maintaining the body and understanding its physiology is also a way of honoring the gift of the Creator."

"My darling, do you know, for these ten years past there has not been even a cloud between my soul and my Savior? How could I be sad to go to Him? I am only sad to leave you alone at this time..."
