I bless the Lord that all our troubles come through Christ's fingers, and that He casteth sugar among them and casteth in some ounce withts of heaven and of the spirit of glory in our cup.

You will not be carried to Heaven lying at ease upon a feather bed.

The hope of heaven under troubles is like wind and sails to the soul.

Grace tried is better than grace, and more than grace; it is glory in its infancy

We are as near to heaven as we are far from self, and far from the love of a sinful world.

It is comfort to the believer that all things are possible.

You shall by faith sustain yourself and comfort yourself in your Lord, and be strong in His power; for you are in the beaten and common way to heaven, when you are under our Lord's crosses. You have reason to rejoice in it, more than in a crown of gold; and rejoice and be glad to bear the reproaches of Christ.
