We may rest assured that God would never have suffered any infants to be slain except those who were already damned and predestined for eternal death.

Let our chief goal, O God, be your glory, and to enjoy You forever.

God does not bestow his spirit on his people in order to set aside the use of his word, but rather to render it fruitful.

We shall never be fit for the service of God, if we look not beyond this fleeting life.

All truth is God's truth.

Since no daily responses are given from heaven, and the Scriptures are the only record in which God has been pleased to consign His truth to perpetual remembrance, the full authority which they ought to possess with the faithful is not recognized unless they are believed to have come from heaven as directly as if God had been heard giving utterance to them.

The whole world is a theatre for the display of the divine goodness, wisdom, justice, and power, but the Church is the orchestra, as it were—the most conspicuous part of it; and the nearer the approaches are that God makes to us, the more intimate and condescending the communication of his benefits, the more attentively are we called to consider them.
