Work hard, trust in God, and keep your bowels open.

I would have been glad to have lived under my wood side, and to have kept a flock of sheep, rather than to have undertaken this government.

A few honest men are better than numbers.

I have not the particular shining bauble or feather in my cap for crowds to gaze at or kneel to, but I have power and resolution for foes to tremble at.

You have sat too long for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!

It's a blessed thing to die daily. For what is there in this world to be accounted of! The best men according to the flesh, and things, are lighter than vanity. I find this only good, to love the Lord and his poor despised people, to do for them and to be ready to suffer with them....and he that is found worthy of this hath obtained great favour from the Lord; and he that is established in this shall ( being conformed to Christ and the rest of the Body) participate in the glory of a resurrection which will answer all.

He who ceases to be better, ceases to be good.
