The secret formula of the saints: When I am in the cellar of affliction, I look for the Lord’s choicest wines.
— Samuel Rutherford
Afflictions
Afflictions add to the saints’ glory. The more the diamond is cut, the more it sparkles; the heavier the saints’ cross is, the heavier will be their crown.
— Thomas Watson
Affliction
The thorn is the most cursed and angry and crabbed weeds that the earth yields, and yet out of it springs the rose, one of the sweetest smelled flowers, and most delightful to the eye.
— Samuel Rutherford
Affliction
To know that nothing hurts the godly, is a matter of comfort; but to be assured that all things which fall out shall cooperate for their good, that their crosses shall be turned into blessings, that showers of affliction water the withering root of their grace and make it flourish ore; this may fill their hearts with joy till they run over.
— Thomas Watson
Afflictions
The humble soul seeks more how to glorify God in afflictions, than how to get out of them.
— Thomas Brooks
