In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

Faith is a fruit, work, or gift of the Spirit of God, whereby a poor soul is enabled through the mighty operation of God, in a sense of its sins and wretched estate to lay hold on the righteousness, blood, death, resurrection, ascension, intercession, and coming again of the Son of God which was crucified without the gates of Jerusalem, for eternal life.

There is enough sin in my best prayer to send the whole world to Hell.

In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

One leak will sink a ship: and one sin will destroy a sinner.

I saw a man clothed with rags . . . a book in his hand, and a great burden upon his back.
