None so empty of grace as he that thinks he is full.

Eternity to the godly is a day that has no sunset; eternity to the wicked is a night that has no sunrise.

Affliction may be lasting, but it is not everlasting.

God's decree is the very pillar and basis on which the saint's perseverance depends. That decree ties the knot of adoption so fast, that neither sin, death, nor hell, can break it asunder.

Christ heals with more ease than any other. Christ makes the devil go out with a word (Mark 9:25). Nay, he can cure with a look: Christ's look melted Peter into repentance; it was a healing look. If Christ doth but cast a look upon the soul he can recover it. Therefore David prays to have a look from God, 'Look Thou upon me, and be merciful unto me' (Psalm 119:132).

Whoever brings an affliction, it is God who sends it.

The pleasure of sin is soon gone, but the sting remains.
