“In times of affliction we commonly meet with the sweetest experiences of the love of God.”

To-despise the world is the way to enjoy heaven; and blessed are they who delight to converse with God by prayer.

It is profitable for Christians to be often calling to mind the very beginnings of grace with their souls.

In all your prayers forget not to thank the Lord for his mercies.

Though it be said that faith cometh by hearing, yet it is the Spirit that worketh faith in the heart through hearing, or else they are not profited by hearing.

The best prayer I ever prayed had enough sin to damn the whole world.

You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.

I come from the Town of Stupidity; it lieth about four degrees beyond the City of Destruction.

Though there is not always grace where there is the fear of hell, yet, to be sure, there is no grace where there is no fear of God.

Wherefore, though the Christian, as a Christian, is the only man at liberty, as called thereunto of God; yet his liberty is limited to things that are good: he is not licensed thereby to indulge the flesh.

It is possible to learn all about the mysteries of the Bible and never be affected by it in one’s soul. Great knowledge is not enough.

Nae man can tether time nor tide.

As your faith is, such your hope will be. Hope is never ill when faith is well, nor strong if faith be weak.

Humility is the light of understanding.

There hath not one tear dropped from thy tender eye against thy lusts, the love of this world, or for more communion with Jesus Christ, but as it is now in the bottle of God.

Man indeed is the most noble, by creation, of all the creatures in the visible World; but by sin he has made himself the most ignoble.

A tender heart is a wakeful, watchful heart. It watches against sin in the soul, sin in the family, sin in the calling, sin in spiritual duties and performances.

I was scared of the tiger but she was sweet.

I think that the sweetest freedom for a man on earth consists in being able to live, if he likes, without having the need to work.

I swear this life is like the sweetest thing I’ve ever known.

Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind. Memories, sweetened through the ages just like wine.

How sweet to be a Cloud. Floating in the Blue!

As long as you’re in the food business, why not make sweets?

Sweet is a grief well ended.

I want to live the rest of my life, however long or short, with as much sweetness as I can decently manage, loving all the people I love, and doing as much as I can of the work I still have to do.
