I see Christ's love is so kingly, that it will not abide a marrow it must have a throne all alone in the soul.

I find it most true that the greatest temptation outside of hell is to live without temptations; if water stands, it rots; faith is the better for the sharp winter storm in its face and grace withers without adversity. The devil is but God's master fencer to teach us to handle our weapons.

We take nothing to the grave with us, but a good or evil conscience... It is true, terrors of conscience cast us down; and yet without terrors of conscience we cannot be raised up again.

Build your nest in no tree here...for the Lord of the forest has condemned the whole woods to be demolished.

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

If Christ Jesus be the periode, the end and the lodging-home at the end of your journey, there is no fear ye go to a friend . . . ye may look death in the face with joy.

The secret formula of the saints: When I am in the cellar of affliction, I look for the Lord's choicest wines.
