First, Resolve upon, and daily endeavour to practise, a life of seriousness and strict sobriety.

I love to live alone in my own little cottage, where I can spend much time in prayer, etc

Oh, how precious is time! And how guilty it makes me feel when I think I have trifled away and misimproved it, or neglected to fill up each part of it with duty to the utmost of my ability and capacity

Let me forget the world and be swallowed up in the desire to glorify God.

I have a secret thought from some things I have observed, that God may perhaps design you for some singular service in the world.

I hardly ever so longed to live to God and to be altigether devoted to Him. i want to wear out my life in His service, and for His Glory!!

Oh, that I could spend every moment of my life to God's glory!
