Religion, in its purity, is not so much a pursuit as a temper; or rather it is a temper, leading to the pursuit of all that is high and holy. Its foundation is faith; its action, works; its temper, holiness; its aim, obedience to God in improvement of self, and benevolence to men.

The bodies of those that made such a noise and tumult when alive, when dead, lie as quietly among the graves of their neighbors as any others.

He who has Christ has all he needs and needs no more.

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

No degree of speculative knowledge of religion is any certain sign of true piety.

He that has doctrinal knowledge and speculation only, without affection, never is engaged in the business of religion.

Sincere friendship towards God, in all who believe him to be properly an intelligent, willing being, does most apparently, directly, and strongly incline to prayer; and it no less disposes the heart strongly to desire to have our infinitely glorious.
