The first step toward heaven, is to see ourselves near hell.

Those years, months, weeks, days, and hours, that are not filled up with God, with Christ, with grace, and with duty, will certainly be filled up with vanity and folly. The neglect of one day, of one duty, of one hour, would undo us, if we had not an Advocate with the Father.

Where truth goes, I will go, and where truth is I will be, and nothing but death shall divide me and the truth.

Cold prayers always freeze before they reach heaven .

To repent of sin is as great a mark of grace as not to sin.

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.

The only way to avoid cannon-shot is to fall down. No such way to be freed from temptation as to keep low.
