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

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

Nature is content with little; grace with less; but lust with nothing.

Men cannot expect to do ill and fare well, but to find that done to them which they did to others.

The prayers and supplications that Christ offered up were, joined with strong cries and tears, herein setting us example not only to pray, but to be fervent and importunate in prayer. How many dry prayers, how few wet ones, do we offer up to God!

Let us watch against unbelief, pride, and self-confidence. If we go forth in our own strength, we shall faint, and utterly fall; but, waiting on the Lord, out of weakness we shall be made strong. Having our hearts and our hopes in heaven, we shall be carried above all difficulties, and be enabled to press forward and lay hold of the prize of our high calling in Christ Jesus.

Many a dangerous temptation comes to us in gay, fine colours, that are but skin-deep.
