Of all things in the world that stink in the nostrils of men, hypocrisy is the worst.

When we bless God for mercies, we usually prolong them. When we bless God for miseries, we usually end them. Praise is the honey of life which a devout heart extracts from every bloom of providence and grace.

If we are indeed contending for truth and righteousness, let us not tarry till we have talent, or wealth, or any other form of visible power at our disposal; but with such stones as we find in the brook, and with our own usual sling, let us run to meet the enemy.

You will never be saved against your will; God drags nobody to heaven by the ears.

We must show sympathy with sinners, but not with their sins.

When God's mercies are coming, their footfalls are our desires to pray.

There is no physician like Him, none can save as He can; we love Him, and He loves us, and therefore we put ourselves into His hands.
