Since He looked upon me my heart is not my own. He hath runaway to heaven with it.

It is the Lord's kindness that he will take the scum off us in the fire. Who know how needful winnowing is to us and what dross we have before we enter the kingdom of God? So narrow is the entry to heaven that our knots, lumps of pride, self-love, idol-love, and world-love must be hammered off us, that we may stoop low and creep through into that narrow entry.

Humility is a strange flower; it grows best in winter weather, and under storms of affliction.

To believe Christ's cross to be a friend, as he himself is a friend, is also a special act of faith

Every day we may see some new thing in Christ. His love hath neither brim nor bottom.

Every man by nature is a freeman born; by nature no man cometh out of the womb under any civil subjection to king, prince, or judge.

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