The life blood streaming thro' my heart, Or my more dear immortal part, Is not more fondly dear.

Care, mad to see a man sae happy, E'en drouned himsel amang the nappy.

The truths that I know best I have learned on my knees. I never know a thing well, till it is burned into my heart by prayer.

Man indeed is the most noble, by creation, of all the creatures in the visible World; but by sin he has made himself the most ignoble.

The law, instead of cleansing the heart from sin, doth revive it, put strength into, and increase it in the soul, even as it doth discover and forbid it, for it doth not give power to subdue.

There hath not one tear dropped from thy tender eye against thy lusts, the love of this world, or for more communion with Jesus Christ, but as it is now in the bottle of God.

Riches and power, what is there more in the world? For money answereth all things-that is, all but soul concerns. It can neither be a price for souls while here, nor can that, with all the forces of strength, recover one out of hell fire.
