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.

Hard words indeed break no bones, but many a heart has been broken by them.

We have no sufficient strength of our own. All our sufficiency is of God. We should stir up ourselves to resist temptations in a reliance upon God's all-sufficiency and the omnipotence of his might.

Those whom God will employ are first struck with a sense of their unworthiness to be employed.

Though we may now think some sins light and little, if the Lord awaken the conscience, we shall feel even the smallest sin heavy upon our souls.

Whatever we have of this world in our hands, our care must be to keep it out of our hearts, lest it come between us and Christ.

I would think it a greater happiness to gain one soul to Christ than mountains of silver and gold to myself.
