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

A weak faith can lay hold on a strong Christ.

Prayer as it comes from the saint is weak and languid; but when the arrow of a saint's prayer is put into the bow of Christ's intercession it pierces the throne of grace.

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

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).

It is hard to carry a full cup without spilling, and a full estate without sinning.

If you don't genuinely like your customers, chances are they won't buy.
