It is better to get wisdom than gold. Gold is another's, wisdom is our own; gold is for the body and time, wisdom for the soul and eternity.

No attribute of God is more dreadful to sinners than His holiness.

It is a sin against God not to pray for the Israel of God, especially for those of them that are under our charge. Good men are afraid of the guilt of omissions ( I Samuel 12).

God is either your worst enemy or your best friend.

That which is won ill, will never wear well, for there is a curse attends it, which will waste it; and the same corrupt dispositions which incline men to the sinful ways of getting, will incline them to the like sinful ways of spending.

Men may die like lambs and yet have their place forever with the goats.

Though we cannot by our prayers give God any information, yet we must by our prayers give him honor.
