The last business of Christ’s life was the saving of a poor penitent thief. That was part of His triumph. That was one of the glories attending His death.

It is a great deal better to live a holy life than to talk about it. We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won’t need to tell anybody it does. Light-houses don’t ring bells and fire cannon to call attention to their shining — they just shine.

Dwight Lyman "D. L." Moody (1837–1899) American evangelist and publisher
(Attributed)

Sometimes quoted, "they just shine on."

Depend upon it, as long as the church is living so much like the world, we cannot expect our children to be brought into the fold.
