A modest dress is a very good thing, if it be the genuine indication of a humble heart, and is to instruct; but it is a bad thing if it be the hypocritical disguise of a proud ambitious heart, and is to deceive. Let men be really as good as they seem to be, but not seem to be better than really they are.

Hard words indeed break no bones, but many a heart has been broken by them.

Those that set God always before them and walk before him with all their hearts, shall find him as good as his word and better; he will both keep covenant with them and show mercy to them.

Whatever we have of this world in our hands, our care must be to keep it out of our hearts, lest it come between us and Christ.

Those that abide in Christ as their heart's desire shall have, through Christ, their heart's desire.
