I have withstood the power of convictions a long time; and therefore I fear I shall be finally left of God.

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

Oh! it is sweet to be thus weaned from friends, and from myself, and dead to the present world, that so I may live wholly to and upon the blessed God!

My desires seem especially to be after weanedness from the world, perfect deadness to it, and that I may be crucified to all its allurements. My soul desires to feel itself more of a pilgrim and a stranger here below, that nothing may divert me from pressing through the lonely desert, till I arrive at my Father's house.

If you hope for happiness in the world, hope for it from God, and not from the world.

Further, Take heed that you faithfully perform the business you have to do in the world, from a regard to the commands of God; and not from an ambitious desire of being esteemed better than others.

I cared not where or how I lived, or what hardships I went through, so I could but gain souls to Christ
