We must not think that [God] takes no notice of us, when He does not answer our wishes: for He has a right to distinguish what we actually need.

Wherever we find the Word of God surely preached and heard, and the sacraments administered according to the institution of Christ, there, it is not to be doubted, is a church of God.

Unless men establish their complete happiness in God, they will never give themselves truly and sincerely to him.

All men were created to busy themselves with the labor for the common good.

Whoever the Lord has adopted ought to prepare themselves for hard, toilsome and unquiet living.

True faith is ever connected with hope.

Let us fall before the majesty of our great God, acknowledging our faults, and praying that he will make us ever more conscious of them.
