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.

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

Faith is the champion of Grace, and Love the nurse; but Humility is the beauty of Grace.

Humility makes a man richer than other men, and it makes a man judge himself the poorest among men.

Humility can weep over other men's weaknesses, and joy and rejoice over their graces.

Nothing humbles and breaks the heart of a sinner like mercy and love. Souls that converse much with sin and wrath, may be much terrified; but souls that converse much with grace and mercy, will be much humbled.

Christ is lovely, Christ is very lovely, Christ is most lovely, Christ is always lovely, Christ is altogether lovely.
