Oh! how amazing it is that people can talk so much about men's power and goodness, when if God did not hold us back every moment, we should be devils incarnate!

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

Oh, how precious is time, and how it pains me to see it slide away, while I do so little to any good purpose.

Worldly pleasures, such as flow from greatness, riches, honours, and sensual gratifications, are infinitely worse than none

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

Here am I, send me; send me to the ends of the earth; send me to the rough, the savage lost of the wilderness; send me from all that is called comfort on earth; send me even to death itself, if it be but in your service, and to promote your kingdom

I fear God never showed mercy to one so vile as I.
