I have often had occasion to observe, that a warm blundering man does more for the world than a frigid wise man. - Richard Cecil

The Old and New Testaments contain but one scheme of religion. Neither part of this scheme can be understood without the other.

The very heart and root of sin is in an independent spirit. We erect the idol self; and not only wish others to worship, but worship ourselves.

A friend called on me when I was ill, to settle some business. My head was too much confused by my indisposition to understand fully what he said, but I had such unlimited confidence in him, that I did whatever he bid me, in the fullest assurance that it was right. How simply I can trust in man, and how little in God! How unreasonable is a pure act of faith in one like ourselves, if we cannot repose the same faith in God.
