Christ's riches are unsearchable, and this doctrine of the gospel is the field this treasure is hidden in.- Thomas Goodwin

To die well is not a thing of that light moment as some imagine: it is no easy matter. But to die well is a matter of every day. Let us daily do some good that may help us at the time of our death. Every day by repentance pull out the sting of some sin, that so when death comes, we may have nothing to do but to die. To die well is the action of the whole life.- Richard Sibbes

If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves. ~Sir Winston Churchill

In the person of Christ we see infinite glory and lowest humility.--Jonathan Edwards

I know without a doubt that it's the hand of God that's brought me through a lot of my self- destructive times. I can almost hear Him say, "Not yet, Cash. I'm not through with you yet." He'd straighten me out and slap me. -Johnny Cash (1932-2003) (In Raymond Obstfeld's _Twang: The Ultimate Book of Country Music Quotations_ [1997], "Homespun Truth & Spirituality")
