The best and sweetest flowers of paradise God gives to His people when they are upon their knees. Prayer is the gate of heaven.

Prayer is nothing but the breathing that out before the Lord, that was first breathed into us by the Spirit of the Lord.

There is the seed of all sins--of the vilest and worst of sins--in the best of men.

There is more evil in the least sin than in the greatest affliction.

There are no souls in the world that are so fearful to judge others as those that do most judge themselves, nor so careful to make a righteous judgment of men or things as those that are most careful to judge themselves.

Prayer crowns God with the honor and glory due to His name, and God crowns prayer with assurance and comfort. The most praying souls are the most assured souls.

There is no such way to attain to greater measures of grace, as for a man to live up to that little grace he has.
