Never a word of merit should be in the mouth of a true believer; for have mercy on me, O Lord, is David’s only plea; any good in us is but a sandy ground to build on.  (David Dickson; 1583-1663)

Our love is not the cause of His, but His is the cause of ours; and it is not merely His loving us, but the shedding of it abroad in our hearts by His Spirit which draws out our love to Him; for though He loved us, yet if He had not some way or another manifested it to us and overcome our hearts with it, we would still have remained enemies to Him; but His giving us the sense and perception of it in our hearts is what has drawn us to Himself and will keep us there.  (John Gill; 1697-1771)

The greatest honor to which any man can attain on earth is to be a servant of Jesus Christ.  (William S. Plumer; 1802-1880)

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