The More You Say, The Less People

We Must Avoid Fastidiousness; Neatness, When It Is Moderate, Is A Virtue; But When It Is Carried To An Extreme, It Narrows The Mind.

How Can You Expect God To Speak In That Gentle And Inward Voice Which Melts The Soul, When You Are Making So Much Noise With Your Rapid Reflections? Be Silent And God Will Speak Again.

Do We Accustom Ourselves To See All Things In The Light Of Faith? Do We Correct All Our Judgments By It? Alas! The Greater Part Of Christians Think And Act Like Mere Heathens; If We Judge (as We Justly May) Of Their Faith By Their Practice, We Must Conclude They Have No Faith At All.

The Great Point Is To Renounce Your Own Wisdom By Simplicity Of Walk, And To Be Ready To Give Up The Favor, Esteem, And Approbation Of Every One, Whenever The Path In Which God Leads You Passes That Way.

When Tempted, The Shortest And Surest Way Is To Act Like A Little Child At The Breast; When We Show It A Frightful Monster, It Shrinks Back And Buries Its Face In Its Mother's Bosom, That It May No Longer Behold It.
