This is the sanctification of your studies: when they are devoted to God, and when He is the end, the object, and the life of them all.
Richard BaxterWill any man that hath not lost his senses, now stand caviling, and quarrelling, that so few should be saved, instead of making sure of his own salvation? The reason that there are so few is, because they will not be saved upon God's terms.
Richard BaxterIf you do not see yourselves and all things as living, moving, and having their being in God, you see nothing, whatever you may think you see.
Richard BaxterKeep your children as much as may be from ill company, especially of ungodly playfellows. It is one of the greatest dangers for the undoing of children in the world; especially when they are sent to common schools: for there is scarce any of those schools so good, but hath many rude and ungodly ill-taught children in it.
