Whether God has decreed all things that ever come to pass or not, all that own the being of a God, own that He knows all things beforehand. Now, it is self-evident that if He knows all things beforehand, He either doth approve of them or doth not approve of them; that is, He either is willing they should be, or He is not willing they should be. But to will that they should be is to decree them.

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

Resolved, never to lose one moment of time; but improve it the most profitable way I possibly can.

Nothing sets a person so much out of the devil's reach as humility.

Remember that pride is the worst viper that is in the heart, the greatest disturber of the soul's peace and sweet communion with Christ; it was the first sin that ever was, and lies lowest in the foundation of Satan's whole building, and is the most difficultly rooted out, and is the most hidden, secret and deceitful of all lusts, and often creeps in, insensibly, into the midst of religion and sometimes under the disguise of humility.

Wicked people will on the day of judgment see all there is to see of Jesus Christ, except His beauty and loveliness

Nothing is more certain than that there must be an unmade and unlimited being.
