Cold prayers always freeze before they reach heaven .

It is the very nature of grace to make a man strive to be most eminent in that particular grace which is most opposed to his bosom sin.

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

Christ is a most precious commodity, he is better than rubies or the most costly pearls; and we must part with our old gold, with our shining gold, our old sins, our most shining sins, or we must perish forever. Christ is to be sought and bought with any pains, at any price; we can not buy this gold too dear. He is a jewel more worth than a thousand worlds, as all know who have him. Get him, and get all; miss him and miss all.

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

The greatest and the hottest fires that ever were on earth are but ice in comparison to the fire of hell.

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.
