We are never, never so much in danger of being proud as when we think we are humble.

Where God works, He works with men that work.

Little learning and much pride come of hasty reading.

When you go through a trial, the sovereignty of God is the pillow upon which you lay your head.

There is a sweet joy that comes to us through sorrow.

I think you may judge of a man’s character by the persons whose affection he seeks. If you find a man seeking only the affection of those who are great, depend upon it he is ambitious and self-seeking; but when you observe that a man seeks the affection of those who can do nothing for him, but for whom he must do everything, you know that he is not seeking himself, but that pure benevolence sways his heart.

He who does not serve God where he is would not serve God anywhere else.
