The fastest way to succeed is to double your rate of failure.

Though we as Christians are like Christ, having the first fruits of the spirit, yet we are unlike him, having the remainders of the flesh.

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

Knowledge without repentance will be but a torch to light men to hell.

The godly have some good in them, therefore the devil afflicts them; and some evil in them, therefore God afflicts them.

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

Satan's time of tempting is usually after an ordinance; and the reason is, because then he thinks he shall find us most secure. When we have been at solemn duties, we are apt to think all is done, and we grow remiss, and leave off that zeal and strictness as before; just as a soldier, who after a battle leaves off his armour, not once dreaming, of an enemy. Satan watches his time, and when we least suspect, then he throws in a temptation.
