My brethren, the reason why you have not got contentment in the things of the world is not because you have not got enough of them-that is not the reason-but the reason is, because they are not things proportionable to that immortal soul of yours that is capable of God himself.

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.

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

I beseech you to consider that God does not deal by you as you deal with him.

To be well skilled in the mystery of Christian contentment is the duty, glory and excellence of a Christian.

When God has given you your heart's desire, what have you done with your heart's desire?
