You may know God, but not comprehend Him.

This life was not intended to be the place of our perfection, but the preparation for it.

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

Keep up a humble sense of your own faults, and that will make you compassionate to others

Keep 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.

It is not a terrible thing to a wretched soul, when it shall lie roaring perpetually in the flames of hell, and the God of mercy himself shall laugh at them; when...God shall mock them instead of relieving them; when none in heaven or earth can help them but God, and he shall rejoice over them in their calamity

I did nothing that I might not have done better.
