Wherever the fear of God rules in the heart, it will appear both in works of charity and piety, and neither will excuse us from the other.

There is a burden of care in getting riches; fear in keeping them; temptation in using them; guilt in abusing them; sorrow in losing them; and a burden of account at last to be given concerning them.

By the light of nature we see God as a God above us, by the light of the law we see Him as a God against us, but by the light of the gospel we see Him as Emmanuel, God with us.

. . . when we cannot do the good we would, we must be ready to do the good we can.

That which God plants he will take care to keep watered.

Death to a good man is his release from the imprisonment of this world, and his departure to the enjoyments of another world.

It is good for us to keep some account of our prayers, that we may not unsay them in our practice.
