The best of men are only men at their very best. Patriarchs, prophets, and apostles, - martyrs, fathers, reformers, puritans, - all are sinners, who need a Savior: holy, useful, honorable in their place - but sinners after all.
J. C. RyleThe only way to be really happy in such a world as this, is to be ever casting all our cares on God.
J. C. RyleThere is only one door, one bridge, one ladder, between earth and heaven - the crucified Son of God.
J. C. RyleA zealous man feels that like a lamp he is made to burn; and if consumed in burning, he has but done the work for which God appointed him. Such a one will always find a sphere for his zeal. If he cannot preach and work and give money, he will cry and sigh and pray.
