There is nothing that keeps wicked men at any one moment out of hell, but the mere pleasure of God
Jonathan EdwardsThe beauty of the world consists wholly of sweet mutual consents, either within itself or with the supreme being.
Jonathan EdwardsAlmost all men, and those that seem to be very miserable, love life, because they cannot bear to lose sight of such a beautiful and lovely world. The ideas, that every moment whilst we live have a beauty that we take not distinct notice of, brings a pleasure that, when we come to the trial, we had rather live in much pain and misery than lose.
Jonathan Edwards
