...nothing good can proceed from our will until it be formed again, and that after it is formed again in so far as it is good, it is of God, and not of us.

In vain people busy themselves with finding any good of man's own in his will. For any mixture of the power of freewill that men strive to mingle with God's grace is nothing but a corruption of grace. It is just as if one were to dilute wine with muddy, bitter water.

Prosperity inebriates men, so that they take delights in their own merits.

The most accomplished in the Scripture are fools, unless they acknowledge that they have need of God for their schoolmaster all the days of their life.

The grace of God has no charms for men till the Holy Spirit gives them a taste for it.

True wisdom consists in two things: Knowledge of God and Knowledge of Self.

The surest source of destruction to men is to obey themselves.
