“He that does not repent, sins again.”

He that would have the perfection of pleasure must be moderate in the use of it.

No man is greatly jealous who is not in some measure guilty.

The State of Grace and the Life of Sin are incompatibilities.

The government of man should be the monarchy of reason: it is too often the democracy of passions or the anarchy of humors.

There is nothing more unnatural to religion than contentions about it.

Riches are but a means, or instrument; and the virtue of an instrument lies in its use.

The sense of repentance is better assurance of pardon than the testimony of an angel.

Either be a true friend or a mere stranger: a true friend will delight to do good–a mere stranger will do no harm.

The more mysterious, the more imperfect; as darkness is, in comparison with light–so is mystery, in comparison with knowledge.

There is no better way to learn than to teach.

Every profession does imply a trust for the service of the public.

He is not likely to learn who is not willing to be taught; for the learner has something to do, as well as the teacher.

Did Christians live according to their Religion, they would do nothing but what Truth, Righteousness, and Goodness do, according to their understanding and ability: and then one man would be a God unto another.

Christ is God clothed with human nature.

Ah! when in the immortal ranks enlisted, I sometimes wonder if we shall not find That not by deeds, but by what we’ve resisted, Our places are assigned.

Everything is dangerous to him that is afraid of it.

When death, the great reconciler, has come, it is never our tenderness that we repent of, but our severity.

What do I see in the God of that infamous sect if not an inconsistent and barbarous being, today the creator of a world of destruction he repents of tomorrow.

Each of us needs to take ourselves by the nap of our necks and confess and repent before we come into God’s holy presence to fellowship.

Illusion is brief, but repentance is long.

The dream is short, repentance long.

No one ever reached heaven without repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

Let us beware of repentance without evidence.

To say that we are sorry for our sins is mere hypocrisy, unless we show that we are really sorry for them, by giving them up. Doing is the very life of repentance.
