I am throwing all my good works overboard, and lashing myself to the plank of free grace; for I hope to swim to glory on it.

The early morning hour should be dedicated to praise: do not the birds set us the example?

Men turn their faces to hell, and hope to get to heaven; why don't they walk into the horsepond, and hope to be dry?.

I will do as much as I can, says one. Any fool can do that. He that believes in Christ does what he cannot do, attempts the impossible, and performs it.

Hope itself is like a star- not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only to be discovered in the night of adversity.

If Christ be anything he must be everything. O rest not till love and faith in Jesus be the master passions of your soul!

The reputations of the Lord's people should be very precious in our sight...We may ourselves one of these dark days need forbearance and silence from our brethren, let us render it cheerfully to those who require it now. Be this our family rule, and our personal bond: Speak evil of no man.
