J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle No time is so well spent in every day as that which we spend upon our knees.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Laughter, ridicule, opposition, persecution, are often the only reward which Christ’s followers get from the world.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Beware of letting small faults pass unnoticed under the idea it is a little one. There are no little things in training children; all are important. Little weeds need plucking up as much as any. Leave them alone and they will soon be great.

J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Praying and sinning will never live together in the same heart. Prayer will consume sin, or sin will choke prayer.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Imagination is the hotbed where this sin is too often hatched. Guard your thoughts, and there will be little fear about your actions.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle 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.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Trials are intended to make us think, to wean us from the world, to send us to the Bible, to drive us to our knees.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle A religion that costs nothing is worth nothing. A cheap Christianity, without a cross, will prove in the end a useless Christianity, without a crown.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Live as if you thought that Christ might come at any time.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Let us be very careful that we never exalt any minister, or sermon, or book, or friend above the Word of God.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Never does a person see any beauty in Christ as a Savior, until they discover that they are a lost and ruined sinner.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle HATE SIN! Instead of loving it, cleaving to it, excusing it, playing with it, we ought to hate it with a deadly hatred.
