“Let no day slip over without some comfort received from the mouth of God.”

I have never once feared the devil, but I tremble every time I enter the pulpit.

A man with God is always in the majority.

How good we are as preachers depends – not altogether, but (make no mistake!) primarily – on how good we are as men.

Prayer is an earnest and familiar talking with God.

Live in Christ, die in Christ, and the flesh need not fear death.

Here lies one who neither flattered nor feared any flesh.

When I think of those who have influenced my life the most, I think not of the great but of the good.

You cannot antagonize and influence at the same time.

But hereof be assured, that all is not lawful nor just that is statute by civil laws; neither yet is everything sin before God, which ungodly persons allege to be treason.

Lord, give me Scotland or I die!

I cannot praise the common superfluity which women now use in their apparel.

O Lord Eternal, move and govern my tongue to speak the truth.

Ye be proud contemners of the free grace of God offered to man in Christ Jesus. For with the Pelagians and Papists ye are become teachers of free will, and defenders of your own righteousness.

Those who have arrived at any very eminent degree of excellence in the practice of an art or profession have commonly been actuated by a species of enthusiasm in their pursuit of it. They have kept one object in view amidst all the vicissitudes of time and torture.

No one else holds or has held the place in the heart of the world which Jesus holds. Other gods have been as devoutly worshipped; no other man has been so devoutly loved.

Study to practice in life that which the Lord commands, and then be you assured that you shall never hear nor read the same without fruit.

The future belongs to the risk-takers, not the comfort-seekers .

One finds great comfort in good dinners.

When the chaos creates comfort, and pain stops hurting your head, when you learn and accept the whole world, You know you possess yourself.

I have no comfort left to offer you, no love I’m willing to give, I’ve learnt years ago that you will always ask for what you can’t return.

Education gives sobriety to the young, comfort to the old, riches to the poor and is an ornament to the rich.

The war on yourself, Never in total comfort or surrender. Chase your dreams daily. Margin for failure, success, A turning point so slender.

Look at me, comforting you with the words I wish someone spoke to me.

Loving memories last forever, I am at a loss for words during this sorrowful time. Please know that I am thinking of you and praying for peace and comfort.
