Holiness and Happiness

God saved us to make us holy, not happy. Some experiences may not contribute to our happiness, but all can be made to contribute to our holiness.

- Vance Havner


Strict walking is much despised in these days, but rest assured, dear reader, it is both the safest and the happiest.

- C. H. Spurgeon


As a general rule, in the long run of life, it will be found true, that “sanctified” people are the happiest people on earth. They have solid comforts which the world can neither give nor take away. “The ways of wisdom are ways of pleasantness.” “Great peace have they that love Thy law.” It was said by One who cannot lie: “My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.” But it is also written, “There is no peace unto the wicked”

- J. C. Ryle
