For to speak the truth, there are but few that care thus to spend their time, but choose rather to be speaking of things to no profit.
John Bunyan
Image
To pray rightly, you must make God your hope, stay, and all. Right prayer sees nothing substantial or worth being concerned about except God.
John Bunyan
Image
It is profitable for Christians to be often calling to mind the very beginnings of grace with their souls.
John Bunyan
Image
It could be a sign of pride in your life if a word of reproof or admonition is not able to be received with the same grace, whether it be given by the poorest of saints or the most educated person.
John Bunyan

Let dissolution come when it will, it can do the Christian no harm, for it will be but a passage out of a prison into a palace out of a sea of troubles into a haven of rest out of a crowd of enemies, to an innumerable company of true, loving, and faithful friends out of shame, reproach, and contempt, into exceeding great and eternal glory.
John Bunyan
Image
Yet my great-grandfather was but a water-man, looking one way and rowing another: and I got most of my estate by the same occupation.
John Bunyan

Nae man can tether time nor tide.
John Bunyan

He hath given me rest by His sorrow, and life by His death.
John Bunyan
Image
Nothing can hurt you except sin nothing can grieve me except sin nothing can defeat you except sin. Therefore, be on your guard, my Mansoul.
John Bunyan
Image
Now, I saw, upon a time, when he was walking in the fields, that he was, as he was wont, reading in his book, and greatly distressed in his mind and, as he read, he burst out, as he had done before, crying, What shall I do to be saved?
John Bunyan
Image
You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.
John Bunyan
Image
Knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
John Bunyan
Image
The reason why the Christians in this day are at such a loss as to some things is that they are contented with what comes from man's mouth, without searching and kneeling before God to know of Him the truth of things.
John Bunyan
Image
I am content with what I have, little be it, or much.
John Bunyan
Image
I have often thought that the best Christians are found in the worst of times.
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
The man who does not know the nature of the Law, cannot know the nature of sin.
John Bunyan
Image
If my life is fruitless, it doesn't matter who praises me, and if my life is fruitful, it doesn't matter who criticizes me.
John Bunyan
