Lord, I surrender. I am completely overcome by your love.

Lay siege to your sins, and starve them out by keeping away the food and fuel which is their maintenance and life.

It is not the reading of many books which is necessary to make a man wise or good; but well reading of a few.

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

A holy and heavenly life is a continual pain to the consciences of sinners around you and continually solicits them to change their course.

Nothing can be rightly known, if God be not known; nor is any study well managed, nor to any great purpose, if God is not studied. We know little of the creature, till we know it as it stands related to the Creator.

Be careful how you spend your time: Spend your time in nothing which you know must be repented of.
