Self is the only oil that makes the chariot-wheels of the hypocrite move in all religious concerns.

Deliver me, O Lord, from that evil man, myself.

He who lives up to a little light shall have more light; he who lives up to a little knowledge shall have more knowledge; he who lives up to a little faith shall have more faith, and he who lives up to a little love shall have more love.

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

That sorrow for sin that keeps the soul from looking towards the mercy seat is a sinful sorrow.
