The best of men are men at best

So long as you do not quarrel with sin, you will never be a truly happy man.

Two-thirds of all the strifes, quarrels, and lawsuits in the world arise from one simple cause-money.

Doctrine is useless if it is not accompanied by a holy life. It is worse than useless; it does positive harm. Something of 'the image of Christ' must be seen and observed by others in our private life, and habits, and character, and doings.

We must read our Bibles like men digging for hidden treasure.

Hearken, my believing reader. What is the cause of your weakness? Is it not because the fountain of life is little used? Is it not because you are resting on old experiences, and not daily gathering new manna—daily drawing new strength from Christ?

The Christian who keeps his heart diligently in little things shall be kept from great falls.
