Indeed, I have been listed under Jesus' banner only for a few years, but I have enjoyed more solid pleasure in one moment's communion with my God than I should or could have enjoyed in the ways of sin, though I had continued to have gone on in them for thousands of years.

Oh for a thousand lives to be spent in the service of Christ.

I am tired in the Lord's work, but not tired of it.

Oh let us continually keep faith in exercise, till it be entirely swallowed up in the boundless ocean of beatific vision.

You might as reasonably expect to find a living man without breath, as a true Christian without the spirit of prayer and supplication.

The sinner can no more raise himself from the deadness of sin than Lazarus, who had been dead four days, until Jesus came.

There is not a thing on the face of the earth that I abhor so much as idleness or idle people.
