Sin is hell, grace is heaven; what madness it is to look more at hell than heaven.

Though our private desires are ever so confused, though our private requests are ever so broken, and though our private groanings are ever so hidden from men, yet God eyes them, records them, and puts them upon the file of heaven, and will one day crown them with glorious answers and returns.

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.

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

Cold prayers shall never have any warm answers. God will suit His returns to our requests. Lifeless, services shall have lifeless answers. When men are dull, God will be dumb.

A man full of hope will be full of action.

Deliver me, O Lord, from that evil man, myself.
