More quotes by Adam Clarke
All abuse and waste of God's creatures are spoil and robbery on the property of the Creator.
Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke
Let it ever be remembered that genuine faith in Christ will ever be productive of good works for this faith worketh by love, as the apostle says, and love to God always produces obedience to his holy laws.
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
Pride works frequently under a dense mask, and will often assume the garb of humility.
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
He who is completely sanctified, or cleansed from all sin, and dies in this state, is fit for glory.

They who pray not, know nothing of God, and know nothing of the state of their own souls.
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
Remember that the word of God is not sent to particular persons, as if by name and do not think you have no part in it, because you are not named there.
Adam Clarke
I have lived to know that the secret of happiness is never to allow your energies to stagnate.
Adam Clarke
Verse 11. (They presented unto Him gifts). The people of the east never approach the presence of kings and great personages, without a present in their hands. The custom is often noticed in the Old Testament, and still prevails in the east, and in some of the newly discovered South Sea Islands.
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
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
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
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
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
The same sun that hardens the clay softens the wax.
Adam Clarke
As preachers of the gospel of Jesus, do not expect worldly honors: these Jesus Christ neither took to himself, nor gave to his disciples.
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
