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.

More from J. C. Ryle
Our Lord has many weak children in his family, many dull pupils in his school, many raw soldiers in his army, many lame sheep in his flock. Yet he bears with them all, and casts none away. Happy is that Christian who has learned to do likewise with his brethren.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Faith is to the soul what life is to the body. Prayer is to faith what breath is to the body. How a person can live and not breathe is past my comprehension, and how a person can believe and not pray is past my comprehension too.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle There will be no universal peace until the Prince of Peace appears.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Let us never forget that our chief danger is from within. The world and the devil combined, cannot do us as much harm as our own hearts will, if we do not watch and pray.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Nothing is so offensive to Christ as lukewarmness in religion.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Your trials, crosses, and conflicts are all temporary.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Wealth is no mark of God’s favor. Poverty is no mark of God’s displeasure.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle No one ever reached heaven without repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Obedience is the only reality. It is faith visible, faith acting, and faith manifest. It is the test of real discipleship among the Lord’s people.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle It is neglect of the Bible which makes so many a prey to the first false teacher whom they hear.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle The blood of Christ can cleanse away all sin. But we must ‘plead guilty’ before God can declare us innocent.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle The true Christian delights to read the Scriptures, because they tell him about his beloved Savior.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Look not to yourselves! You are by nature wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked. Look simply unto Jesus.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle It costs something to be a true Christian. It will cost us our sins, our self-righteousn ess, our ease and our worldliness.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle Look to the cross, think of the cross, meditate on the cross, and then go and set your affections on the world if you can.
J. C. RyleJ. C. Ryle O Christian, look up and take comfort. Jesus has prepared a place for you, and those who follow Him shall never perish, neither shall anyone pluck them out of His hands.
