You are not mature if you have a high esteem of yourself. He who boasts in himself is but a babe in Christ, if indeed he be in Christ at all. Young Christians may think much of themselves. Growing Christians think themselves nothing. Mature Christians know that they are less than nothing. The more holy we are, the more we mourn our infirmities, and the humbler is our estimate of ourselves.

Periodical godliness is perpetual hypocrisy.

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

Salvation is all grace, which means, free, gratis, for nothing.

Nonsense is nonsense whether it rhymes or not, just as bad half-pennies are good for nothing whether they jingle or lie quiet.

Whenever God means to make a man great, he always breaks him in pieces first.

If I had never joined a church till I had found one that was perfect, I should never have joined one at all.
