Without knowledge of self there is no knowledge of God.

Whomever the Lord has adopted and deemed worthy of His fellowship ought to prepare themselves for a hard, toilsome, and unquiet life, crammed with very many and various kinds of evil.

Let us be peaceable as near as we can: let us relent of our own right: let us not strive for these worldly goods, honour and reputation: let us bear all wrongs and outrages, rather than be moved to any debate through our own fault. But in the meanwhile, let us fight for God's truth with tooth and nail.

God would remain absolutely hidden if we were not illuminated by the brightness of Christ.

Faith consists, not in ignorance, but in knowledge, and that, not only of God, but also of the divine will.

Prayers belong strictly to the worship of God. Fasting is a subordinate aid, which is pleasing to God no farther than as it aids the earnestness and fervency of prayer.

The principle exercise which the children of god have is to pray. For in this way they give true proof of their faith.
