It gave me no pleasure to see people drink in my opinions if they seemed ignorant of Jesus Christ and the value of being saved by Him. Sound conviction for sin, especially the sin of unbelief, and a heart set on fire to be saved by Christ, with a strong yearning for a truly sanctified soul-this was what delighted me; those were the souls I considered blessed.

There was a castle called Doubting Castle, the owner whereof was Giant Despair.

Thou art beaten that thou mayest be better.

Prayer is an ordinance of God, that must continue with a soul so long as it is on this side glory.

Pray and read, read and pray; for a little from God is better than a great deal from men.

Great grace and small gifts are better than great gifts and no grace.

No man, without trials and temptations, can attain a true understanding of the Holy Scriptures.
