More quotes by Adam Clarke
Prayer requires more of the heart than of the tongue.
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
Whether the family of the Clarkes were of Norman extraction cannot be easily ascertained.
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
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
However, all gifts seem now to be absorbed in one and a man must be either a Preacher or nothing.
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
All abuse and waste of God's creatures are spoil and robbery on the property of the Creator.
Adam Clarke
It is the grace of God, that shows and condemns the sin that humbles us.
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
To be filled with God, is a great thing to be filled with the fulness of God, is still greater to be filled with all the fulness of God, is greatest of all.
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
Now an infinite happiness cannot be purchased by any price less than that which is infinite in value and infinity of merit can only result from a nature that is infinitely divine or perfect
Adam Clarke
Deeply consider that it is your duty and interest to read the Holy Scriptures.
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
The grand obstacle to the salvation of the scribes and Pharisees was their pride, vanity and self-love. They lived on each other's praise. If they had acknowledged Christ as the only good teacher, they must have given up the good opinion of the multitude and they chose rather to lose their souls than to forfeit their reputation among men!
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
We communicate happiness to others not often by great acts of devotion and self-sacrifice, but by the absence of fault-finding and censure, by being ready to sympathize with their notions and feelings, instead of forcing them to sympathize with ours.
Adam Clarke
They who pray not, know nothing of God, and know nothing of the state of their own souls.
Adam Clarke
