“I am content with what I have, little be it, or much.”

A saint abroad, and a devil at home.

Christ is the desire of nations, the joy of angels, the delight of the Father. What solace then must that soul be filled with, that has the possession of Him to all eternity!

What God says is best, is best, though all the men in the world are against it.

It could be a sign of pride in your life if a word of reproof or admonition is not able to be received with the same grace, whether it be given by the poorest of saints or the most educated person.

Nothing can hurt you except sin; nothing can grieve me except sin; nothing can defeat you except sin. Therefore, be on your guard, my Mansoul.

The Lord uses his flail of tribulation to separate the chaff from the wheat.

If we have not quiet in our minds, outward comfort will do no more for us than a golden slipper on a gouty foot.

Temptations, when we meet them at first, are as the lion that reared upon Samson; but if we overcome them, the next time we see them we shall find a nest of honey within them.
