Whatever sin the heart of man is most prone to, that the devil will help forward.

When afflictions arrest us, we shall murmur and grumble and struggle until we see that it is God that strikes.

It is not he who knows most, nor he who hears most, nor yet he who talks most, but he who exercises grace most, who has most communion with God.

Secret sins commonly lie nearest the heart.

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

Ah, believer, it is only Heaven that is above all winds, storms, and tempests; God did not cast man out of Paradise that he might find another paradise in this world.

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