God's mercy is so great that you may sooner drain the sea of its water, or deprive the sun of its light, or make space too narrow, than diminish the great mercy of God.

There is nothing little in God; His mercy is like Himself-it is infinite. You cannot measure it. His mercy is so great that it forgives great sins to great sinners, after great lengths of time, and then gives great favours and great privileges, and raises us up to great enjoyments in the great heaven of the great God.

You never have to drag mercy out of Christ, as money from a miser.

He who is surety is never sure himself. Take advice, and never be security for more than you are quite willing to lose. Remember the word of the wise man: He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it; and he that hateth suretyship is sure.

You and your sins must separate, or you and your God will never come together.

To wash and dress a corpse is a far different thing from making it alive: Man can do the one--God alone can do the other.

The friend of God must not spend a day without God, and he must undertake no work apart from his God.
