“Though there is not always grace where there is the fear of hell, yet, to be sure, there is no grace where there is no fear of God.”

“Fear, lest, by forgetting what you are by nature, you also forget the need that you have of continual pardon, support, and supplies from the Spirit of grace, and so grow proud of your own abilities, or of what you have received from God.”

“This hill, though high, I covet to ascend; The difficulty will not me offend. For I perceive the way to life lies here. Come, pluck up, heart; let's neither faint nor fear. Better, though difficult, the right way to go, Than wrong, though easy, where the end is woe.”

“It is profitable for Christians to be often calling to mind the very beginnings of grace with their souls.”

“This hill though high I covent ascend;The difficulty will not me offend;For I perceive the way of life lies here.Come, pluck up, heart; let's neither faint nor fear. ”

“What God says is best, is best, though all the men in the world are against it.”

“Then said he, ’I am going to my Father’s; and though with great difficulty I am got hither, yet now I do not repent me of all the trouble I have been at to arrive where I am. My sword I give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage, and my courage and skill to him that can get it. My marks and scars I carry with me, to be a witness for me that I have fought His battles who now will be my rewarder.’.... So he passed over, and all the trumpets sounded for him on the other side.”
