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.

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!

I have pain; there is no arguing against sense, but I have peace, I have peace.

In a divine commonwealth holiness must have the principal honor and encouragement, and a great difference be made between the precious and the vile.

Lord, I surrender. I am completely overcome by your love.

Holiness is nothing else but the habitual and predominant devotion and dedication of soul, and body, and life, and all that we have to God; and esteeming, and loving, and serving, and seeking Him, before all the pleasures and prosperity of the flesh.

An ounce of mirth is worth a pound of sorrow.
