The quest for glory can never be satisfied, it must be extinguished.

The first duty of the gospel preacher is to declare God's law and to show the nature of sin.

Whenever the devil harasses you, seek the company of men or drink more, or joke and talk nonsense, or do some other merry thing. Sometimes we must drink more, sport, recreate ourselves, and even sin a little to spite the devil, so that we leave him no place for troubling our consciences with trifles. We are conquered if we try too conscientiously not to sin at all. So when the devil says to you: do not drink, answer him: I will drink, and right freely, just because you tell me not to.

When schools flourish, all flourishes.

So preach that those who do not fall out with their sins may fall out with thee.

The church converteth the whole world by blood and prayer.

A gospel that doesn't deal with the issues of the day is not the gospel at all.
