As the body lives by breathing, so the soul lives by believing.

Every thing that a man leans upon but God, will be a dart that will certainly pierce his heart through and through. He who leans only upon Christ, lives the highest, choicest, safest, and sweetest life.

If any man should ask me what is the first, second, and third part of being a Christian, I must answer 'Action!'

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

Satan promises the best, but pays with the worst; he promises honor, and pays with disgrace; he promises pleasure, and pays with pain; he promises profit, and pays with loss, he promises life, and pays with death. But God pays as he promises; all his payments are made in pure gold.

Secret sins commonly lie nearest the heart.

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.
