Ah! sinner, remember this, there is no way on earth effectually to be rid of the guilt, filth, and power of sin, but by believing in a Saviour. It is not resolving, it is not complaining, it is not mourning, but believing, that will make thee divinely victorious over that body of sin that to this day is too strong for thee, and that will certainly be thy ruin, if it be not ruined by a hand of faith.

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.

Sin may rebel, but it shall never reign in any saint.

Saints spring and thrive most internally, when they are most externally afflicted. Afflictions are the mother of virtue.

Humility can weep over other men's weaknesses, and joy and rejoice over their graces.

A man had need to fear this most of all that he fears not at all.

Weak Christians are afraid of the shadow of the cross.
