Surely there are in every man's Life certain rubs, doublings, and wrenches, which pass a while under the effects of chance, but at the last well examined, prove the meer hand of God.-Religio Medici.

Evidences of Christianity! I am weary of the word. Make a man feel the want of it; rouse him, if you can, to the self-knowledge of his need of it; and you may safely trust it to its own Evidence.-Aids to Reflection.

It was to this Change of Nature, of Life and Spirit, to this certain, immediate Deliverance from the Power of Sin... that Men were then called to, as true Christianity. And the Preachers of it bore Witness, not to a Thing that they had heard, but to a Power of Salvation, a Renewal of Nature, a Birth of Heaven, a Sanctification of the Spirit, which they themselves had received.-The Way to Divine Life.

If a man is not rising upwards to be an angel, depend upon it, he is sinking downwards to be a devil. He cannot stop at the beast. The most savage men are not beasts; they are worse, a great deal worse.-Coleridge's Table Talk.

It is the plague of manie, that they are not plagued: even this is their punishment, the want of punishment; an insensible Heart is the Devil's Anvil, he fashioneth all sins on it, and the blowes are not felt.The Gallant's Burden.

They have drawn on forces which exist, and on a soul which answers.-Human Personality.
