A curse lies upon those that, when the truth suffers, have not a word to defend it.

In trouble we are prone to forget all that we have heard and read that makes for our comfort. Now what is the reason that a man comes to think of that which otherwise he should never have called to mind? The Holy Spirit brings it to his remembrance; He is a Comforter, bringing to mind useful things at such times when we have most need of them.

When we go to God by prayer, the devil knows we go to fetch strength against him, and therefore he opposes us all he can.

When a man is to travel into a far country...one staff in his hand may comfortably support him, but a bundle of staves would be troublesome. Thus a competency of these outward things may happily help us in the way to heaven, whereas abundance may be hurtful.

A man may be a false prophet and yet speak the truth.

The depths of our misery can never fall below the depths of mercy.

It is better to go bruised to heaven than sound to hell.
