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

Men may die like lambs and yet have their place forever with the goats.

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

None shall be saved by Christ but those only who work out their own salvation while God is working in them by His truth and His Holy Spirit. We cannot do without God; and God will not do without us.

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

A good man is willing to know the worst of himself, and particularly under affliction, desires to be told wherefore God contends with him and what God designs in correcting him.

When he [the slothful person] is pressed to be diligent, either in his worldly affairs or in the business of religion, this is his excuse (and a sorry excuse it is as bad as none).
