Their hope is a humble hope; and their joy, even when it is unspeakable and full of glory, is a humble broken-hearted joy, and leaves the Christian more poor in spirit, and more like a little child, and more disposed to a universal lowliness of behaviour.

The pleasures of humility are really the most refined, inward, and exquisite delights in the world.

Truth is the agreement of our ideas with the ideas of God.

Of all the knowledge that we can ever obtain, the knowledge of God, and the knowledge of ourselves, are the most important.
