The mightier any is in the word, the more mighty he will be in prayer.

We fear men so much, because we fear God so little.

Never venture near the door where sin dwells, lest you are dragged in.

Of all creatures in this visible world, light is the most glorious; of all light, the light of the sun without compare excels the rest.

God, to prevent all escape, hath sown the seeds of death in our very constitution and nature, so that we can as soon run from ourselves, as run from death. We need no feller to come with a hand of violence and hew us down; there is in the tree a worm, which grows out of its own substance, that will destroy it; so in us, those infirmities of nature that will bring us down to the dust.
