Esther came to a proud imperious man; we come to the God of love and grace.

Though we must never think to learn above our Bible, as long as we are here in this world, yet we must still be getting forward in it.

...When we are waiting upon God to bless us, we should stir up ourselves to bless him.

The anger of a meek man is like fire struck out of steel, hard to be got out, and when it is, soon gone.

We should take heed of pride; it is a sin that turned angels into devils.

Pride is at the bottom of a great many errors and corruptions, and even of many evil practices, which have a great show and appearance of humility.

He that is in haste may contract much guilt in a little time. What we say or do unadvisedly when we are hot, we must unsay or undo again when we are cool, or do worse.
