"Today, many of us pride ourselves that we do not eat and drink certain things and we even religiously wait so many minutes before or after meals to drink anything. This is pride in full bloom – sin and the consequence of our superior effort to make ourselves clean. Waggoner is so clear that “Pride is Intoxication.” So it is that we become drunk with our temperance."           ~Daniel Peters

"Christ died, but He still lives, and His life in us keeps us united to God. The imparting of His life to us frees us from sin and the continuing of it in us, keeps us from sin."  Ellet J. Waggoner 

"These men had been with one mind persevering in prayer for this very object. They were also of that class mentioned in John 7:17; they had been, and were still, followers of Christ; so it was to be expected that they should know of the doctrine. And lastly, they had studied the word of God for themselves, and had done all they could to understand it."  Ellet J. Waggoner

"It took nothing less than the Divine life of Christ to meet the demands of the law. Unless one has more than this to give, he can do more than is required."  ~Ellet J. Waggoner
