Tomorrow is always the sluggard's working day; today is his holiday

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

Study hard, for the well is deep, and our brains are shallow.

Most (Christians) have an ungrounded trust in Christ, hoping that He will pardon, justify and save them, while the world has their hearts, and they live to the flesh. And this trust they take as justifying faith.

It is as hard a thing to maintain a sound understanding, a tender conscience, a lively, gracious, heavenly spirit, and an upright life in the midst of contention, as to keep your candle lighted in the greatest storms.

If family religion were duly attended to and properly discharged, I think the preaching of the Word would not be the common instrument of conversion.

We must study as hard how to live well as how to preach well.
