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

There is justice in hell, but sin is the most unjust thing. It would rob God of his glory, Christ of his purchase, the soul of its happiness.

Prayer is the offering up of our desires to God in the name of Christ, for such things as are agreeable to his will. It is an offering of our desires. Desires are the soul and life of prayer; words are but the body; now as the body without the soul is dead, so are prayers unless they are animated with our desires.

The world rings changes, it is never constant but in its disappointments. The world is but a great inn, where we are to stay a night or two, and be gone; what madness is it so to set our heart upon our inn, as to forget our home?

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

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

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