Gospel repentance is not a little hanging down of the head. It's a working of the heart until your sin becomes more odious to you than any punishment for it.

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

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

God knows we have nothing of ourselves, therefore in the covenant of grace he requires no more than he gives, but gives what he requires, and accepts what he gives.

When we grow careless of keeping our souls, then God recovers our taste of good things again by sharp crosses.

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

As the strongest faith may be shaken, so the weakest, where truth is, is so far rooted that it will prevail. Weakness with watchfulness will stand, when strength with too much confidence fails. Weakness, with acknowledgement of it, is the fittest seat and subject for God to perfect His strength in; for consciousness of our infirmities drives us out of ourselves to Him in whom our strength lies.
