The human heart is like a millstone in a mill: when you put wheat under it, it turns and grinds and bruises the wheat to flour; if you put no wheat, it still grinds on, but then 'tis itself it grinds and wears away.

Thus, dear friends, I have said it clearly enough, and I believe you ought to understand it and not make liberty a law.

We are saved by faith alone, but the faith that saves is never alone.

God delights in our temptations and yet hates them. He delights in them when they drive us to prayer; he hates them when they drive us to despair.

The God of this world is riches, pleasure and pride.

When God wants to speak and deal with us, he does not avail himself of an angel but of parents, or the pastor, or of our neighbor.

Peace if possible, truth at all costs.
