In all their jollity in this world, the wicked are but as a book fairly bound, which when it is opened is full of nothing but tragedies. So when the book of their consciences shall be once opened, there is nothing to be read but lamentations and woes.

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.

God takes a safe course with His children, that they may not be condemned with the world, He permits the world to condemn them, that they may not love the world, the world hates them.

If Christ has once possessed the affections, there is no dispossessing of him again. A fire in the heart overcomes all fires without.

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

The soul is never quiet till it comes to God . . . and that is the one thing the soul desireth.

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