Whatsoever God takes away from His children, He either replaces it with a much greater favor or else gives strength to bear it.

The whole life of a Christian should be nothing but praises and thanks to God; we should neither eat nor sleep, but eat to God and sleep to God and work to God and talk to God, do all to His glory and praise.

A man knows no more in religion than he loves and embraceth with the affections of his soul.

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

Measure not God's love and favour by your own feeling. The sun shines as clearly in the darkest day as it does in the brightest. The difference is not in the sun, but in some clouds which hinder the manifestation of the light thereof.

There are no men more careful of the use of means than those that are surest of a good issue and conclusion, for the one stirs up diligence in the other. Assurance of the end stirs up diligence in the means. For the soul of a believing Christian knows that God has decreed both.

Those that look to be happy must first look to be holy.
