Works make not the heart good, but a good heart makes the works good.

God knows all that is done in the most secret caverns of the heart. No place is deprived of his presence.

A proud faith is as much a contradiction as a humble devil.

We often learn more of God under the rod that strikes us than under the staff that comforts us.

All the prayers in the Scripture you will find to be reasoning with God, not a multitude of words heaped together.

In regard of God, patience is a submission to His sovereignty. To endure a trial, simply because we cannot avoid or resist it, is not Christian patience. But to humbly submit because it is the will of God to inflict the trial, to be silent because the sovereignty of God orders it - is true godly patience.

How worthy it is to remember former benefits when we come to beg for new.
