How many times has He delivered me! Yet, alas! How distrustful and ungrateful is my heart even until the present!
John NewtonMany are convinced, who are not truly enlightened; are afraid of the consequences of sin, though they never saw its evil; have a seeming desire of salvation, which is not founded upon a truly spiritual discovery of their own wretchedness, and the excellency of Jesus.

John Newton
