Hope for the best, get ready for the worst, and then take what God chooses to send.

To wait on God is to live a life of desire toward Him, delight in Him, dependence on Him, and devotedness to Him.

God cannot be represented by an image. We ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. We wrong God, and put an affront upon him, if we think so. God honoured man in making his soul after his own likeness; but man dishonours God if he makes him after the likeness of his body. The Godhead is spiritual, infinite, immaterial, incomprehensible, and therefore it is a very false and unjust conception which an image gives us of God.

Better to get up late and be wide awake then, than to get up early and be asleep all day.

They that die by famine die by inches.

The joy of the Lord will arm us against the assaults of our spiritual enemies, and, put our mouths out of taste for those pleasures with which the tempter baits his hooks.

Earth is embittered to us, that heaven may be endeared.
