He is the best preacher, not that tickles the ear, but that breaks the heart.
Secret sins commonly lie nearest the heart.
An idle life and a holy heart is a contradiction.
The only way to avoid cannon-shot is to fall down. No such way to be freed from temptation as to keep low.
A Christian will part with anything rather than his hope; he knows that hope will keep the heart both from aching and breaking, from fainting and sinking; he knows that hope is a beam of God, a spark of glory, and that nothing shall extinguish it till the soul be filled with glory.
A well-grounded assurance is always attended with three fair handmaids: love, humility and holy joy.
