Prayer delights God's ear; it melts His heart; and opens His hand. God cannot deny a praying soul.

Knowledge is the eye which must direct the foot of obedience.

The more we enjoy of God, the more we are ravished with delight.

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

Solve it. Solve it quickly, solve it right or wrong. If you solve it wrong, it will come back and slap you in the face, and then you can solve it right. Lying dead in the water and doing nothing is a comfortable alternative because it is without risk, but it is an absolutely fatal way to manage a business.

To know that nothing hurts the godly, is a matter of comfort; but to be assured that all things which fall out shall co-operate for their good, that their crosses shall be turned into blessings, that showers of affliction water the withering root of their grace and make it flourish more; this may fill their hearts with joy till they run over.

We spend our years with sighing; it is a valleyof tears; but death is the funeral of all our sorrows.
