Richard Baxter

“Our covenants with God are not forced, but voluntary.”

“I am a stranger here, Heaven is my home.”

“In necessary things, unity; in doubtful things, liberty; in all things, charity.”

“I preached as never sure to preach again, and as a dying man to dying men.”

“It is a mercy to be driven to God by affliction, that we may not be seduced from Him by prosperity.”

“A holy life is a voice; it speaks when the tongue is silent, and is either a constant attraction or a perpetual reproof.”

“Men may be brought to see their own sinfulness by the gospel, but not without the law.”

“Study hard, for the well is deep, and our brains are shallow.”

“Holiness is no solitary, selfish thing.”

“He that will believe only what he can fully comprehend must have a very long head or a very short creed.”

“The plainest and most commonly acknowledged truth in the world is that which is the least practised.”

“I am but a pen in God's hand.”

“Action is the life of all, and if thou dost not act, thou dost nothing.”

“Your thoughts are the architects of your destiny.”

“Overdoing is the most ordinary way of undoing.”
