Of what use is a long life, if we amend so little? Alas, a long life often adds to our sins rather than to our virtue!

In Jesus and for Him, enemies and friends alike are to be loved.

It is vanity to desire a long life and to take no heed of a good life.

If you would endeavor, like men of courage, to stand in the battle, surely we would feel the favorable assistance of God from heaven. For he who give the us occasion to fight, to the end we may get the victory, is ready to succor those that fight manfully, and do trust in his grace.

Occasions of adversity best discover how great virtue or strength each one hath. For occasions do not make a man frail, but they show what he is.

Oh, how great peace and quietness would he possess who should cut off all vain anxiety and place all his confidence in God.

He will be with you also, all the way, that faithful God. Every morning when you awaken to the old and tolerable pain, at every mile of the hot uphill dusty road of tiring duty, on to the judgment seat, the same Christ there as ever, still loving you, still sufficient for you, even then. And then, on through all eternity.
