He that will play with Satan's bait, will quickly be taken with Satan's hook.

Secret sins commonly lie nearest the heart.

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

A man's most glorious actions will at last be found to be but glorious sins, if he hath made himself, and not the glory of God, the end of those actions.

Carnal reason is an enemy to faith: it is ever crossing and contradicting it.

Prayer is nothing but the breathing that out before the Lord, that was first breathed into us by the Spirit of the Lord.
