“The motives, even for our best deeds, are apt to be mixed, and the thought of men’s admiration is often one of them.”  Alfred Plummer (1841-1926)

“Hence it follows, that all our graces, and so our desires, receive disadvantage by our flesh, that mixing itself with what is good, and so abates the excellency of the good.”  John Bunyan (1628-1688)

“When God seems to close his ear, we must not therefore close our mouths, but rather cry with more earnestness; for when our note grows shrill with eagerness and grief, he will not long deny us a hearing.  What a dreadful case should we be in if the Lord should become forever silent to our prayers.”  Charles H. Spurgeon  (1834-1892)

“God in the exercise of His infinite wisdom and power, so personally directs and controls the free actions of men as to determine all things in accordance with His eternal purpose.”  E.H. Bancroft

“The lowest stage in depravity is reached when men take pleasure in seeing others sin.”  Claude Duval Cole  (1885-1968)

“The mighty God, without ceasing to be God, becomes man to redeem us.  Wonder of wonders!  The like to this never has been—never could be.  Let the greatest king become the meanest beggar–let the richest prince leave his place for the vilest cell of a loathsome prison; it is as nothing to the act of Jesus, when He left heaven to put on the rage of our mortality.”  Henry Law  (1797-1884)

“Jesus gives us to understand that two agreed are better, stronger, than twelve or a thousand divided by enmities and ambitious passions.”  Alexander Balmain Bruce  (1831-1899)

“For never was any sinner qualified to come to Christ.  He is well qualified to come to us; but a sinner out of Christ has no qualifications for Christ but sin and misery.”  Horatius Bonar  (1808-1890)

“Be our troubles many in number, strange in nature, heavy in measure; Yet God’s mercies are more numerous, his wisdom more wondrous, his power more miraculous; he will deliver us out of all.  Thomas Adams (1807-1880)

“Should the whole frame of nature be unhinged, and all outward friends and supporters prove false and deceitful, our worldly hopes and schemes be disappointed, and possessions torn from us, and the floods of sickness, poverty and disgrace overwhelm our soul with an impetuous tide of trouble; the sincere lover of God, finding that none of these affect his portion and the object of his panting desires, retires from them all to God his refuge and hiding place, and there feels his Saviour incomparably better, and more than equivalent to what the whole of the universe can ever offer, or rob him of; and his tender mercies, unexhausted fullness, and great faithfulness, yield him consolation and rest; and enable him what time he is afraid, to put his trust in him.”  William Dunlop (1654-1700)
