Take heed to yourselves, lest you perish while you call upon others to take heed of perishing, and lest you famish yourselves while you prepare their food.

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

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

It is past all question, and agreed on by all sides, that no religion will save a man who is not serious, sincere, and diligent in it. If thou be of the truest religion in the world, and are not true thyself to that religion, the religion is good, but it is none of thine.

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.

You little know what you have done, when you have first broke the bounds of modesty; you have set open the door of your fancy to the devil, so that he can, almost at his pleasure ever after, represent the same sinful pleasure to you anew; he hath now access to your fancy to stir up lustful thoughts and desires, so that when you should think of your calling, of your God, or of your soul, your thoughts will be worse than swinish, upon the filth that is not fit to be named. If the devil here get in a foot, he will not easily be got out.

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.
