Screw the truth into men's minds.

I must confess, as the experience of my own soul, that the expectation of loving my friends in heaven principally kindles my love to them while on earth.

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

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

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

Suffering so unbolts the door of the heart, that the Word hath easier entrance.

You shall find this to be God's usual course: not to give his children the taste of his delights till they begin to sweat in seeking after them.
