As rivers, the nearer they come to the ocean whither they tend, the more they increase their waters, and speed their streams; so will grace flow more fully and freely in its near approaches to the ocean of glory.

The more I see of the glory of Christ, the more the painted beauties of this world will wither in my eyes.

The house built on the sand may oftentimes be built higher, have more fair parapets and battlements, windows and ornaments, than that which is built upon the rock; yet all gifts and privileges equal not one grace.

Temptations and occasions put nothing into a man, but only draw out what was in him before.

A river continually fed by a living fountain may as soon end its streams before it come to the ocean, as a stop be put to the course and progress of grace before it issue in glory.

We admit no faith to be justifying, which is not itself and in its own nature a spiritually vital principle of obedience and good works.

The good Lord send out a spirit of mortification to cure our distempers, or we are in a sad condition!
