“For to speak the truth, there are but few that care thus to spend their time, but choose rather to be speaking of things to no profit.”

Prayer is a sincere, sensible, affectionate pouring out of the soul to God, through Christ, in the strength and assistance of the Spirit, for such things as God has promised.

Great sins do draw out great grace; and where guilt is most terrible and fierce, there the mercy of God in Christ, when showed to the soul, appears most high and mighty.

Whatever contradicts the Word of God should be instantly resisted as diabolical.

I preach deliverance to others, I tell them there is freedom, while I hear my own chains clang.

God, as I may say, is forced to break men’s hearts, before he can make them willing to cry to him, or be willing that he should have any concerns with them; the rest shut their eyes, stop their ears, withdraw their hearts, or say unto God, Be gone.

Pray often, for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge for Satan.

He that is down needs fear no fall. He that is low, no pride; He that is humble, ever shall have God to be his Guide.

Prayer is an ordinance of God, that must continue with a soul so long as it is on this side glory.

Riches and power, what is there more in the world? For money answereth all things-that is, all but soul concerns. It can neither be a price for souls while here, nor can that, with all the forces of strength, recover one out of hell fire.

I have often thought that the best Christians are found in the worst of times.

And, indeed, this is one of the greatest mysteries in the world; namely, that a righteousness that resides in heaven should justify me, a sinner on earth!

Prayer will make a man cease from sin, or sin will entice a man to cease from prayer.

The best prayers have often more groans than words.

Humility is the light of the understanding.

Our sins, when laid upon Christ, were yet personally ours, not his; so his righteousness, when put upon us, is yet personally his, not ours.

To seek yourself in this world is to be lost; and to be humble is to be exalted.

Profit is sweet, even if it comes from deception.

How terrible is wisdom, when it brings no profit to the man that’s wise.

Don’t be seduced into thinking that that which does not make a profit is without value.

As long as people will accept crap, it will be financially profitable to dispense it.

If conservatives get to call universal healthcare ‘socialized medicine,’ I get to call private, for-profit healthcare ‘soulless, vampire bastards making money off human pain.’

In Europe, Socialism is just another political party. It just means that government takes over certain things like hospitals, prisons, military and schools that should not be run for profit.

The large banking interests were deeply interested in the World War because of the wide opportunities for large profits.

Corporation: An ingenious device for obtaining profit without individual responsibility.
