Meekness is calm confidence, settled assurance, and rest of the soul. It is the tranquil stillness of a soul that is at rest in Christ. It is the place of peace. Meekness springs from a heart of humility, radiating the fragrance of Christ.

It is not enough for us to be where God is worshipped, if we do not ourselves worship him.

Goodness makes greatness truly valuable, and greatness make goodness much more serviceable.

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.

To a good man, God gives not only wisdom and knowledge, but joy.

Our duty as Christians is always to keep heaven in our eye and earth under our feet.

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