True humility is a flower which will adorn any garden.

God has not made this world to be a nest for us, and if we try to make it such for ourselves, he plants thorns in it, so that we may be compelled to mount and find our soul’s true home somewhere else, in a higher and nobler sphere than this poor world can give.

I am but of yesterday, and know nothing.

A godly man often grows best when his worldly circumstances decay. He who follows Christ for his bag is a Judas; they who follow for loaves and fishes are children of the devil; but they who attend Him out of love to Himself are His own beloved ones. Lord, let me find my life in Thee, and not in the mire of this world's favour or gain.

Unbelief will destroy the best of us; faith will save the worst of us.

Sin is sovereign till sovereign grace dethrones it.

Nothing can damn a man but his own righteousness; nothing can save him but the righteousness of Christ.
