It is the superfluous things for which men sweat.

God never repents of what He has first resolved upon.

Desultory reading is delightful, but to be beneficial, our reading must be carefully directed.

God has not revealed all things to man and has entrusted us with but a fragment of His mighty work.

Hidden from our eyes, He can only be reached by the spirit.
