“Let us not judge men as they once were in time past, when once this change has come.  The Lord esteems men according to the present grace received, and never casts them in the teeth with that which they were in time past; and why should we upbraid men with sins or infirmities past, which the Lord has covered?  (Thomas Taylor  1758-1835)

“The corrupt do not loathe their own corruption.  Sinners do not of their own accord grow weary and ashamed of sin.  They have no desire to escape from the miry pit; they resist and resent every offer of aid.”  (William Arnot  1808-1875)

“No man has ever provided or will ever provide a righteousness that will satisfy God and the demands of His most holy Law.”  (D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones  1899-1981)

“Divine grace is able to subdue every lust, conquer every prejudice and surmount every difficulty.”  (Arthur W. Pink; 1886-1952)

“The same word which created heaven and earth accomplishes all; not we poor and helpless sinners.”  (Martin Luther; 1483-1546)

“It is a diabolical science which fixes our contemplations on the works of nature, and turns them away from God.”  (John Calvin; 1509-1564)

“The true way to have our faith strengthened is not to consider the difficulties in the way of the thing promised, but the character and resources of God, who has made the promise.”  (Charles Hodge  1797-1887)`

“Men are merciless in their censures of Christians; they have no sympathy for their infirmity:  while God weighs them in more equal scales, and says, ‘The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.’  While a saint is a dove in the eyes of God, he is only a raven in the estimation of sinners.”  (William Secker; 1681)

“As gold by fire is severed and parted from dross, so singleness of heart and true Christian simplicity is best seen and made evident in troubles and afflictions.  In prosperity every man will seem godly, but afflictions do draw out of the heart whatsoever is there, whether it be good or bad.”  (Robert Cawdray)

“Nothing but the Divine can really fill the soul.  Without God there will be a boundless vacuum within.”  (David Thomas  1813-1894)
