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

Those sins that seem most sweet in life, will prove most bitter in death

The lazy Christian has his mouth full of complaints, when the active Christian has his heart full of comforts.

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.

He who lives up to a little light shall have more light; he who lives up to a little knowledge shall have more knowledge; he who lives up to a little faith shall have more faith, and he who lives up to a little love shall have more love. Verily the main reason why men are such babes and shrubs in grace is because they do not live up their attainments.

A good conscience and a good confidence go together.

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.
