J. C. Ryle
Our Lord has many weak children in his family, many dull pupils in his school, many raw soldiers in his army, many lame sheep in his flock. Yet he bears with them all, and casts none away. Happy is that Christian who has learned to do likewise with his brethren.
J. C. Ryle

J. C. Ryle
Except a man be born again, he will wish one day he had never been born at all.
J. C. Ryle
I am one of those old-fashioned ministers who believe the whole Bible and everything that it contains.
J. C. Ryle
A true Christian is one who has not only peace of conscience, but war within. He may be known by his warfare as well as by his peace.
J. C. Ryle
Live as if you thought that Christ might come at any time.
J. C. Ryle
There are no lessons so useful as those learned in the school of affliction.
J. C. Ryle
Take away the cross of Christ, and the Bible is a dark book.
J. C. Ryle
If you want to find out how much someone loves you, find out how much they pray for you.
