“Surely much of that hasty and harsh spirit, often observable in young converts, arises from their having a very imperfect acquaintance with the deceitfulness of their own hearts. But, the old weather-beaten Christian, who has learnt by sorrowful experience how weak he is, and what powerful subtle enemies he has to grapple with, acquires a tenderness in dealing with bruises and broken bones of others.”

“the greatness of trials is to be estimated, rather by the impressions they make upon our spirits, than by their outward appearances. The smallest will be too heavy for us if we are left to grapple with it in our own strength, or rather weakness; and if the Lord is pleased to put forth his power in us, He can make the heaviest light.”

“We cannot be so evil as He is good. His power is a good match for our weakness; his riches for our poverty; his mercy for our misery. We are vile in ourselves; but we are complete in him. In ourselves we have cause to be abased; but in him we may rejoice.”

"One grain of grace is worth abundance of gifts. To be self-abased, to be filled with a spirit
of love, and peace, and gentleness; to be dead to the world; to have the heart deeply affected with a sense of the glory and grace of Jesus, to have our will bowed to the will of God; these are the great things, more valuable…than to be an instrument of converting a province or a nation."
