To be born again is, as it were, to enter upon a new existence, to have a new mind, a new heart, new views, new principles, new tastes, new affections, new likings, new dislikings, new fears, new joys, new sorrows, new love to things once hated, new hatred to things once loved, new thoughts of God, and ourselves, and the world, and the life to come, and salvation.

Love should be the silver thread that runs through all your conduct.

Pride is the oldest and most common of sins. Humility is the rarest and most beautiful of graces.

Beware of manufacturing a God of your own: a God who is all mercy, but not just. Such a God is an idol of your own.

A man's state before God may always be measured by his prayers.

To be prayerless is to be without God, without Christ, without grace, without hope, and without heaven.

‎"A humble and prayerful person will find a thousand things in the Bible, which the proud student will utterly fail to discern." ~ J.C. Ryle
