Grace is the seed of glory, the dawning of glory in the heart, and therefore grace is the earnest of the future inheritance.

Religion, in its purity, is not so much a pursuit as a temper; or rather it is a temper, leading to the pursuit of all that is high and holy. Its foundation is faith; its action, works; its temper, holiness; its aim, obedience to God in improvement of self, and benevolence to men.
