“Weakness with watchfulness will stand, when strength with too much confidence fails. Weakness, with acknowledgement of it, is the fittest seat and subject for God to perfect his strength in; for consciousness of our infirmities drives us out of ourselves to him in whom our strength lies.”
― Richard Sibbes
“Thou hast made us for thyself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it finds its rest in thee.”
― Augustine
“Eternal truth, eternal righteousness, eternal love;
these only can triumph, for these only can endure.”
Joseph B. Lightfoot
“Without the heart it is no worship. It is a stage play. It is an acting of a part without being that person, really. It is playing the hypocrite.”
– Stephen Charnock
“Yes, forget your weakness, whatever that weakness may be. It is egotism, it is selfishness after all, for it is a dwelling on self. Forget your weakness; and remember your strength.”
— Joseph Barber Lightfoot
