Temptations will no more prevail over a contented man, than a dart that is thrown against a brazen wall.

Our names... are in the hands of God, Who will preserve them so far as He has use of them, and further we shall have no use of them ourselves.

It is a woman's reason to say I will do such a thing because I will.

Contentment is not by addition but by subtraction: seeking to add a thing will not bring contentment. Instead, subtracting from your desires until you are satisfied only with Christ brings contentment.

But if I have once overcome my heart, and am contented through the grace of God in my heart, then this makes me content not only in one particular but in general, whatever befalls me.

Faith has this excellency, that it is able to bring life out of death, light out of darkness. It has a kind of creating virtue.

A noble heart is a thankful heart that loves to acknowledge whenever it has received any mercy.
