Gospel repentance is not a little hanging down of the head. It's a working of the heart until your sin becomes more odious to you than any punishment for it.

There is more mercy in Christ than sin in us.

Satan gives Adam an apple, and takes away paradise. Therefore in all temptations consider not what he offers, but what we shall lose.

The life of a Christian is wondrously ruled in this world, by the consideration and meditation of the life of another world.

It would be a good contest amongst Christians, one to labour to give no offence, and the other to labour to take none. The best men are severe to themselves, tender over others.

It is better to go bruised to heaven than sound to hell.

Times are bad, God is good.

Poverty and affliction take away the fuel that feeds pride.

God knows we have nothing of ourselves, therefore in the covenant of grace he requires no more than he gives, but gives what he requires, and accepts what he gives.

God takes a safe course with His children, that they may not be condemned with the world, He permits the world to condemn them, that they may not love the world, the world hates them.

Self-emptiness prepares us for spiritual fullness.

Leaders don't correct people to success as much as believe them to it.

I often feel more disgust than pride about this kind of success. So there's no regret whatsoever.

You have to become the 'first of yourself' instead of trying to become the second of anyone.

I'll see a beautiful girl walking up to me and I'll think, Oh, my God, I can't believe my good luck. But then she'll say, 'Where's your son?' or 'My mother loves you'.

People have prejudices against a nation in which they have no acquaintances.

I believe one should design for the advantage of the largest mass of people, first and always. That takes care of ideologies and sociologies.

It's a very broad and not very well-disguised effort of Russians to create questions about the legitimacy of these Western elections. And, I think, this is very K.G.B.

Successful people have control over the time in their life. A shoemaker who owns his own shop gets up one morning and says, "I'm not opening." That's a successful guy.

If you care about something enough, it’s going to make you cry. But you have to use it. Use your tears. Use your pain. Use your fear. Get mad. Arnold, get mad.
