 I cannot see how any man deserves to be called "holy," who willfully allows himself in sins, and is not humbled and ashamed because of them. Author: J.C. Ryle |
| I should as soon expect a farmer to prosper in business who contented himself with sowing his fields and never looking at them till harvest, as expect a believer to attain much holiness who was not diligent about his Bible reading, his prayers, and the use of his Sundays. Author: J.C. Ryle |

| I am convinced that the first step towards attaining a higher standard of holiness is to realize more fully the amazing sinfulness of sin. Author: J.C. Ryle |
| We are to order our lives by the light of His Law, not by our guesses about His plan. Author: J.I. Packer |

| A pure mind in a chaste body is the mother of wisdom and deliberation; sober counsels and ingenuous actions; open deportment and sweet carriage; sincere principles and unprejudiced understanding; love of God and self-denial; peace and confidence; holy prayers and spiritual comfort; and a pleasure of spirit infinitely greater than the sottish pleasure of unchastity. Author: Jeremy Taylor |
