Every fat (vat) must stand upon its bottom.

Conversion is not the smooth, easy-going process some men seem to think... It is wounding work, this breaking of the hearts, but without wounding there is no saving... Where there is grafting there will always be a cutting, the graft must be let in with a wound; to stick it onto the outside or to tie it on with a string would be of no use. Heart must be set to heart and back to back or there will be no sap from root to branch. And this, I say, must be done by a wound, by a cut.

There can be but one will the master in our salvation, but that shall never be the will of man, but of God; therefore man must be saved by grace.

The road of denial leads to the precipice of destruction

It is profitable for Christians to be often calling to mind the very beginnings of grace with their souls.

Here is the life of prayer, when in or with the Spirit, a man being made sensible of sin, and how to come to the Lord for mercy; he comes, I say, in the strength of the Spirit, and crieth Father. That one word spoken in faith is better than a thousand prayers, as men call them, written and read, in a formal, cold, lukewarm way.

Love is the beauty and the strength of all societies and the great pleasure of our lives on earth.
