“Envy is a spirit of dissatisfaction or opposition to the prosperity or happiness of other people.”

Resolved, to ask myself at the end of every day, week, month and year, wherein I could possibly in any respect have done better.

How can you expect to dwell with God forever, if you so neglect and forsake him here?

By the grace of God we will never pluck unripe fruit. We will never press people to decision, because we’ll lead them to damnation and not salvation.

He who has Christ has all he needs and needs no more.

Resolved, that I will live so, as I shall wish I had done when I come to die.

The pleasures of humility are really the most refined, inward, and exquisite delights in the world.

The enjoyment of God is the only happiness with which our souls can be satisfied.

Every Christian that goes before us from this world is a ransomed spirit waiting to welcome us in heaven.

Wicked people will on the day of judgment see all there is to see of Jesus Christ, except His beauty and loveliness

As God delights in his own beauty, he must necessarily delight in the creature’s holiness which is a conformity to and participation of it, as truly as [the] brightness of a jewel, held in the sun’s beams, is a participation or derivation of the sun’s brightness, though immensely less in degree.

We are dependent on God’s power through every step of our redemption.

He that has doctrinal knowledge and speculation only, without affection, never is engaged in the business of religion.

Those who are in a state of salvation are to attribute it to sovereign grace alone, and to give all the praise to Him who maketh them to differ from others.

He that lives a prayerless life, lives without God in the world.

There are people who love those who agree with them and admire them, but have no time for those who oppose and dislike them. A Christian’s love must be universal!

Resolved, never to lose one moment of time; but improve it the most profitable way I possibly can.

Haters only hate things they can’t have and the people they can’t be. It’s just a little thing called jealousy.

But I must confess I am jealous of the term atom; for though it is very easy to talk of atoms, it is very difficult to form a clear idea of their nature, especially when compounded bodies are under consideration.

With respect to Committees as you would perceive I am very jealous of their formation. I mean working committees. I think business is always better done by few than by many.

Jealousy takes root in the soil of insecurity.

The attempt is to kill the false “I”, so that the real “I”, the Lord, will reign. “I the Lord thy God am a jealous God. Thou shalt have no other gods before me,” say the Hebrew scriptures.

I am the most jealous boy in the world, when I’m with my girlfriend. I always kiss her so that the other guys know she’s mine

But I like not these great successes of yours; for I know how jealous are the gods.

Suspicion is a virtue as long as its object is the public good, and as long as it stays within proper bounds. Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel.
