God lets you be successful because he trusts you that you will do the right thing with it. Now, does he get disappointed often? All the time, because people get there and they forget how they got it.

God made man to go by motives, and he will not go without them, any more than a boat without steam or a balloon without gas.

There are joys which long to be ours. God sends ten thousands truths, which come about us like birds seeking inlet but we are shut up to them, and so they bring us nothing, but sit and sing awhile upon the roof, and then fly away.

God pardons like a mother, who kisses the offense into everlasting forgiveness.

God asks no man whether he will accept life. That is not the choice. You must take it. The only choice is how.
