Envy is a spirit of dissatisfaction or opposition to the prosperity or happiness of other people.

We must view humility as one of the most essential things that characterizes true Christianity.

The foundation of the Christian's peace is everlasting; it is what no time, no change can destroy. It will remain when the body dies; it will remain when the mountains depart and the hills shall be removed, and when the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll. The fountain of His comfort shall never be diminished, and the stream shall never be dried. His comfort and joy is a living spring in the soul, a well of water springing up to everlasting life.

We cannot believe that the church of God is already possessed of all that light which God intends to give it; nor that all Satan's lurking places have already been found out.

We are dependent on God's power through every step of our redemption.

Intend to live in continual mortification, and never to expect or desire any worldly ease or pleasure.

Love is the sum of all virtue, and love disposes us to good.
