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

Cold prayers shall never have any warm answers. God will suit His returns to our requests. Lifeless, services shall have lifeless answers. When men are dull, God will be dumb.

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

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

There is no little sin, because no little God to sin against.

A well-grounded assurance is always attended with three fair handmaids: love, humility and holy joy.

Repentance is the vomit of the soul.
