A man had need to fear this most of all that he fears not at all.
Sin will usher in the greatest and the saddest losses that can be upon our souls.
When God's hand is on thy back, let thy hand be on thy mouth, for though the affliction be sharp it shall be but short.
To repent of sin is as great a mark of grace as not to sin.
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.
Saints spring and thrive most internally, when they are most externally afflicted. Afflictions are the mother of virtue.
