The seed of every sin known to man is in my heart.

Never forget that the end of a sermon is the salvation of the people.

The nearer you take anything to the light, the darker its spots will appear; and the nearer you live to God, the more you will see your own utter vileness.

For every look at self, take 10 looks at Christ.

It is not great talents God blesses so much as great likeness to Jesus. A holy minister is an awful weapon in the hand of God.

I tell you, brethren, if mercies and if judgments do not convert you, God has no other arrows in His quiver.

A beam of God's countenance is enough to fill the heart of a believer to overflowing. It is enough to light up the pale cheek of a dying saint with seraphic brightness, and make the heart of the lone widow sing for joy.
