Matthew Henry

None so deaf as those that will not hear. None so blind as those that will not see.

Extraordinary afflictions are not always the punishment of extraordinary sins, but sometimes the trial of extraordinary graces.

The better day, the worse deed.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

Exhaust the little moment. Soon it dies. And be it gash or gold it will not come Again in this identical guise.

Iron till it be thoroughly heated is incapable to be wrought; so God sees good to cast some men into the furnace of affliction, and then beats them on his anvil into what frame he pleases.
