“Humility is to make a right estimate of oneself.”

“For my own part, my constant prayer is that I may know the worst of my case, whatever the knowledge may cost me. I know that an accurate estimate of my own heart can never be otherwise than lowering to my self-esteem; but God forbid that I should be spared the humiliation which springs from the truth! The sweet red apples of self-esteem are deadly poison; who would wish to be destroyed thereby? The bitter fruits of self-knowledge are always healthful, especially if washed down with the waters of repentance, and sweetened with a draught from the wells of salvation; he who loves his own soul will not despise them.”

“Evil things are easy things: for they are natural to our fallen nature. Right things are rare flowers that need cultivation.”

“Every man here, every woman here, every child here whose heart is right with God, may be a soul-winner.”

“Humility makes us ready to be blessed by the God of all grace.”

“Sincerity makes the very least person to be of more value than the most talented hypocrite.”

“Wherever the Lord makes a provision, we are quite sure that there was a need for it. No superfluities clutter the covenant of grace.”
