If time be a ring of gold, opportunity is the rich diamond that gives it both its value and glory.
John FlavelThe carnal person fears man, not God. The strong Christian fears God, not man. The weak Christian fears man too much, and God too little.
John FlavelAs the blood of Christ is the fountain of all merit, so the Spirit of Christ is the fountain of all spiritual life; and until he quicken us and infuse the principle of the divine life into our souls, we can put forth no hand, or vital act of faith, to lay hold upon Jesus Christ.
John FlavelNo doctrine is more excellent, or necessary to be preached and studied, than Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
