Is it not enough that all the world is against us, but we must also be against one another? O happy days of persecution, which drove us together in love, whom the sunshine of liberty and prosperity crumbles into dust by our contentions!

The longer you delay, the more your sin gets strength and rooting. If you cannot bend a twig, how will you be able to bend it when it is a tree?

I take the love of God and self-denial to be the sum of all saving grace and religion.

Do not waste your time on light, weak, milk­toast ministries and books
