Doth any man live more to himself, or less to God, than the proud?

Death is half disarmed when the pleasures and interests of the flesh are first denied.

To be the people of God without regeneration, is as impossible as to be the children of men without generation.

It is true, that men may have Christ whenever they are willing to comply with His terms. But if you are not willing now, how can you think you shall be willing hereafter?

Overvalue not therefore the manner of your own worship, and overvilify not other men's of a different mode.

What we most value, we shall think no pains too great to gain.

A man pleaser cannot be true to God, because he is a servant to the enemies of his service; the wind of a man's mouth will drive him about as the chaff, from any duty, and to any sin.
