Nature is content with little; grace with less; but lust with nothing.

What God requires of us he himself works in us, or it is not done. He that commands faith, holiness, and love, creates them by the power of his grace going along with his word, that he may have all the praise.

Anger cannot rest in the bosom where love reigns.

None can know their election but by their conformity to the image of Christ; for all that are chosen are chosen to sanctification.

It is not talking but walking that will bring us to heaven.

See what a hidden life the life of a good Christian is, and how much it is concealed from the eye and observation of the world. The most important part of the business lies between God and our own souls, in the frame of our spirits and the working of our hearts, in our actions that no eye sees except the all-seeing God. Justly are the saints called God's hidden ones, and His secret is said to be with them. They have meat to eat and work to do that the world does not know of, as well as joys, griefs, and cares that a stranger does not share.

God is either your worst enemy or your best friend.
