To read much and practice nothing is to hunt much and catch nothing.
— Thomas Brooks
A Divided Heart
A man-pleaser cannot be true to God, because he is a servant to the enemies of his service; the wind of a man’s mouth will drive him about as the chaff, from any duty, and to any sin.
— Richard Baxter
God’s Wisdom
So great and boundless is God’s wisdom that he knows right well how to use evil instruments to do good.
— John Calvin
Prayer
Ah! How often, Christians, hath God kissed you at the beginning of prayer, and spoken peace to you in the midst of prayer, and filled you with joy and assurance upon the close of prayer!
— Thomas Brooks
Perfection
Have we ever seen holier men than the martyred John Bradford, or Hooker, or Usher, or Baxter, or Rutherford, or M’Cheyne? Yet no one can read the writings and letters of these men without seeing that they felt themselves “debtors to mercy and grace” every day, and the very last thing they ever laid claim to was perfection!
— J. C. Ryle
