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
To suppose more than one supreme Source of infinite wisdom, power, and all perfections, is to assert that there is no supreme Being in existence.
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
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
I have lived to know that the secret of happiness is never to allow your energies to stagnate.
Adam Clarke

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
They who pray not, know nothing of God, and know nothing of the state of their own souls.
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
Deeply consider that it is your duty and interest to read the Holy Scriptures.
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
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
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!
