People want to recommend themselves to God by their sincerity; they think, 'If we do all we can, if we are but sincere, Jesus Christ will have mercy on us.' But pray what is there in our sincerity to recommend us to God? ... therefore, if you depend on your sincerity for your salvation, your sincerity will damn you.

Fight the good fight of faith, and God will give you spiritual mercies.

Pray that I may be very little in my own eyes, and not rob my dear Master of any part of his glory.

We can preach the Gospel of Christ no further than we have experienced the power of it in our own hearts

Study to know Him more and more, for the more you know, the more you will love Him.

See that you feel the truths that you speak.

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