John Bunyan
Image
I saw a man clothed with rags . . . a book in his hand, and a great burden upon his back.
John Bunyan

There is enough sin in my best prayer to send the whole world to Hell.
John Bunyan
Image
In prayer, it is better to have heart without words, than words without heart. Prayer will make a man cease from sin, or sin entice a man to cease from prayer. The spirit of prayer is more precious than treasures of gold and silver. Pray often, for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge for Satan.

John Bunyan
Image
He that is down needs fear no fall.
John Bunyan
Image
We know not the matter of the things for which we should pray, neither the object to whom we pray, nor the medium by or through whom we pray none of these things know we, but by the help and assistance of the Spirit.
John Bunyan
Image
Nae man can tether time nor tide.
John Bunyan
Image
Fullness to such a burden is That go on pilgrimage Here little, and hereafter bliss, Is best from age to age.
John Bunyan
Image
Wherefore, though the Christian, as a Christian, is the only man at liberty, as called thereunto of God yet his liberty is limited to things that are good: he is not licensed thereby to indulge the flesh.
John Bunyan
Image
But pleasures are like poppies spread: You seize the flower
John Bunyan
Image
Our heart oft times wakes when we sleep, and God can speak to that, either by words, by proverbs, by signs and similitudes, as well as if one was awake.
John Bunyan
Image
I am content with what I have, little be it, or much.
John Bunyan
Image
Now, Mr. Great-heart was a strong man, so he was not afraid of a lion.
