Faith's speculations to the worst and hardest, in point of resolution, are sweet.

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.

Let your children be as so many flowers, borrowed from God. If the flowers die or wither, thank God for a summer loan of them.

He who duly esteemeth Christ, is a noble bidder, and so a noble and liberal buyer.

I exhort you and beseech you in the bowels of Christ, faint not, weary not. There is a great necessity of heaven; ye must needs have it: all other things, as houses, lands, children, husband, friends, country, credit, health, wealth, honour, may be wanted ; but heaven is your one thing necessary, the good part that shall not be taken from you. See that you buy the field where the Pearl is; sell all and make a purchase of salvation. Think it not easy; for it is a steep ascent to eternal glory; many are lying dead by the way, that were slain with security.

Make not Christ a liar in distrusting His promise.

Jesus Christ came into my prison cell last night, and every stone flashed like a ruby.
