Preach to yourselves the sermons which you study, before you preach them to others.

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.

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!

Prayer is the breath of the new creature.

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

If 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.

I preached as never sure to preach again, And as a dying man to dying men.
