Some people do not like to hear much of repentance; but I think it is so necessary that if I should die in the pulpit, I would desire to die preaching repentance, and if out of the pulpit I would desire to die practicing it.

Pure Christianity and serious godliness fear not the scrutiny of a free thought, but despise the impotent malice of a prejudiced one.

The streams of religion run deep or shallow, according as the banks of the Sabbath are kept up or neglected.

Conscience is that candle of the Lord which was not quite put out.

I thank Thee first because I was never robbed before; second, because although they took my purse they did not take my life; third, because although they took my all, it was not much; and fourth because it was I who was robbed, and not I who robbed.

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