God uses lust to impel men to marry, ambition to office, avarice to earning, and fear to faith. God led me like an old blind goat.

God wants us to pray, and he wants to hear our prayers-not because we are worthy, but because he is merciful.

Faith, like light, should always be simple and unbending; while love, like warmth, should beam forth on every side, and bend to every necessity of our brethren.

Faith does not inquire whether there are good works to be done, but even before asking questions, faith has done the works already.

The Lord commonly gives riches to foolish people, to whom he gives nothing else.

Grant that I may not pray alone with the mouth; help me that I may pray from the depths of my heart.

The Law is for the proud and the Gospel for the brokenhearted.
