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

Dangers breed fears, and fears more dangers bring.

Is it but right that our hearts should be on God, when the heart of God is so much on us.

Study hard, for the well is deep, and our brains are shallow.

I take the love of God and self-denial to be the sum of all saving grace and religion.

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.
