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

Secret sins commonly lie nearest the heart.

If God were not my friend, Satan would not be so much my enemy.

When afflictions arrest us, we shall murmur and grumble and struggle until we see that it is God that strikes.

There is oftentimes a great deal of knowledge where there is but little wisdom to improve that knowledge. It is not the most knowing Christian but the most wise Christian that sees, avoids, and escapes Satan's snares. Knowledge without wisdom is like mettle in a blind horse, which is often an occasion of the rider's fall.

Little sins carry with them but little temptations to sin, and then a man shews most viciousness and unkindness, when he sins on a little temptation. It is devilish to sin without a temptation; it is little less than devilish to sin on a little occasion. The less the temptation is to sin, the greater is that sin.

Every man obeys Christ as he prizes Christ, and no otherwise.
