More quotes by Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke
It is the grace of God, that shows and condemns the sin that humbles us.
Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke
They who pray not, know nothing of God, and know nothing of the state of their own souls.

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke
Pride works frequently under a dense mask, and will often assume the garb of humility.
Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke
There is no such thing as chance or accident the words merely signify our ignorance of some real and immediate cause.
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
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
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
All abuse and waste of God's creatures are spoil and robbery on the property of the Creator.
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
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
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
Many talk much, and indeed well, of what Christ has done for us: but how little is spoken of what he is to do in us! and yet all that he has done for us is in reference to what he is to do in us.
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
