You say, 'On the off chance that I had somewhat more, I ought to be exceptionally fulfilled.' You commit an error. On the off chance that you are not content with what you have, you would not be fulfilled in the event that it were multiplied.

To acknowledge you were wrong yesterday is to acknowledge you are wiser today.

In seasons of severe trial, the Christian has nothing on earth that he can trust to, and is therefore compelled to cast himself on God alone. When no human deliverance can avail, he must simply and entirely trust himself to the providence and care of God. Happy storm that wrecks a man on such a rock as this! O blessed hurricane that drives the soul to God--and God alone!

Want of will causes paralysis of every faculty. In spiritual things man is utterly unable because resolvedly unwilling.

After faith comes repentance, or, rather, repentance is faith's twin brother and is born at the same time.

None but God would ever have thought of justifying me. I am a wonder to myself.

If you meet with a system of theology which magnifies man, flee from it as far as you can.
