I have often heard, that it is safer to hear and to take counsel, than to give it.

No confict is so severe as his who labors to subdue himself.

The more the flesh is wasted by affliction, so much more is the Spirit strengthened by inward grace.

Confidence is the illusion born of accidental success.

It carries a burden which is no burden; it will not be kept back by anything low and mean; it desires to be free from all wordly affections, and not to be entangled by any outward prosperity, or by any adversity subdued.

If thou may not continually gather thyself together, do it sometime at least once a day, morning or evening.

I can take credit for only two things: pride and sin.
