Left to himself, man is half beast and half devil.

All I can say is I look for perpetual conflicts and struggles in this life, and I hope for no other peace, only a cross, while on this side of eternity.

If your souls were not immortal, and you in danger of losing them, I would not thus speak unto you; but the love of your souls constrains me to speak: methinks this would constrain me to speak unto you forever.

I found by daily experience, the more I did, the more I might do for God.

Take care of your life and the Lord will take care of your death.

Speak every time my dear brother as if it were your last

God is well pleased when all our actions proceed from love, love to Himself, and love to immortal souls.
