More quotes by Adam Clarke
This is the case with thousands: they appear desirous of knowing the truth, but have not patience to wait in a proper way to receive an answer to their question.
Adam Clarke
Matthew being a constant attendant on our Lord, his history is an account of what he saw and heard and, being influenced by the Holy Spirit, his history is entitled to the utmost degree of credibility.
Adam Clarke
Multitudes of words are neither an argument of clear ideas in the writer, nor a proper means of conveying clear notions to the reader.
Adam Clarke
This perfection is the restoration of man to the state of holiness from which he fell, by creating him anew in Christ Jesus, and restoring to him that image and likeness of God which he has lost.
Adam Clarke
But this Christ or Redeemer took not upon him the nature of angels, but the seed of Abraham, that is, human nature, that in the nature which sinned he might make the expiation required.
Adam Clarke
Prayer requires more of the heart than of the tongue.
Adam Clarke
The same sun that hardens the clay softens the wax.

Now it would be as absurd to deny the existence of God, because we cannot see him, as it would be to deny the existence of the air or wind, because we cannot see it.
Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke
If you go forward in the spirit of the original apostles and followers of Jesus Christ, trusting not in man but in the living God, he will enable you to pull down the strong holds of sin and Satan, and that work by which he is pleased will prosper in your hands.
Adam Clarke
It is to be regretted that few persons who have arrived at any degree of eminence or fame, have written Memorials of themselves, at least such as have embraced their private as well as their public life.
Adam Clarke
They who pray not, know nothing of God, and know nothing of the state of their own souls.
Adam Clarke
Few men can be said to have inimitable excellencies: let us watch them in their progress from infancy to manhood, and we shall soon be convinced that what they attained was the necessary consequence of the line they pursued, and the means they used.
Adam Clarke
If you be faithful, you will have that honor that comes from God: his Spirit will say in your hearts, Well done, good and faithful servants.
Adam Clarke
Prayer is not designed to inform God, but to give man a sight of his misery to humble man's heart, to excite his desire, to inflame his faith, to animate his hope, to raise his soul from earth to heaven.
Adam Clarke
Death to a good man is but passing through a dark entry, out of one little dusky room of his Father's house into another that is fair and large, lightsome and glorious, and divinely entertaining.
Adam Clarke
Even papists could not see that a moral evil was detained in the soul through its physical connection with the body and that it required the dissolution of this physical connection before the moral contagion could be removed.
Adam Clarke
However, all gifts seem now to be absorbed in one and a man must be either a Preacher or nothing.
Adam Clarke
It is strictly and philosophically true in Nature and reason that there is no such thing as chance or accident it being evident that these words do not signify anything really existing, anything that is truly an agent or the cause of any event but they signify merely men's ignorance of the real an immediate cause.
Adam Clarke
Pride works frequently under a dense mask, and will often assume the garb of humility.
