There is more evil in a drop of sin than in a sea of affliction.

Affliction may be lasting, but it is not everlasting. Affliction was a sting, but withal a wing: sorrow shall soon fly away.

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

God will not be behind-hand in love to us: for our drop, we shall receive an ocean.

He may look on death with joy, who can look on forgiveness with faith.

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.

A wicked man in prayer may lift up his hands, but he cannot lift up his face.
