I have learned that if you fear God, you have no one else to fear.

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!

Sir, what can be said of these things? Is it the arm of the flesh that hath done these things? Is it the wisdom and counsel, or strength of man? It is the Lord only. God will curse that man and his house that dares to think otherwise. Sir, you see the work is done by a Divine leading. God gets into the hearts of men, and persuades them to come under you.

Because I fear God, I have no man to fear.

Your pretended fear lest error should step in, is like the man that would keep all the wine out of the country lest men should be drunk. It will be found an unjust and unwise jealousy, to deny a man the liberty he hath by nature upon a supposition that he may abuse it.

Those who stop being better stop being good.

A few honest men are better than numbers.
