More quotes by John Bunyan

Image
Christians are like the several flowers in a garden that have each of them the dew of heaven, which, being shaken with the wind, they let fall at each other's roots, whereby they are jointly nourished, and become nourishers of each other.
John Bunyan
Image
Hope is never ill when faith is well.
John Bunyan
Image
He that is down needs fear no fall. He that is low, no pride He that is humble, ever shall have God to be his Guide.
John Bunyan
Image
See how ye Pharisee in the Temple stands, And justifies himself with lifted hands. Whilst ye poor publican with downcast eyes, Conscious of guilt to God for mercy cries.
John Bunyan
Image
The spirit of prayer is more precious than treasures of gold and silver.
John Bunyan
Image
Great grace and small gifts are better than great gifts and no grace.
John Bunyan
Image
I found it hard work now to pray to God, because despair was swallowing me up
John Bunyan
Image
As your faith is, such your hope will be. Hope is never ill when faith is well, nor strong if faith be weak.
John Bunyan
Image
A comely sight indeed it is to see, a world of blossoms on an apple tree.
John Bunyan
Image
What a fool, quoth he, am I, thus to lie in a stinking dungeon, when I may as well walk at liberty! I have a key in my bosom, called Promise, that will, I am persuaded, open any lock in Doubting Castle.
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
I saw a man clothed with rags . . . a book in his hand, and a great burden upon his back.
John Bunyan
Image
I have often thought that the best Christians are found in the worst of times.
John Bunyan
Image
Every time you have with your mouth said well of godliness, and yet gone on in wickedness or every time you have condemned sin in others, and yet have not refrained it yourselves I say, every such word and conclusion that hath passed out of thy mouth, sinner, it shall be as a witness against thee in the day of God, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
John Bunyan
Image
Knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
John Bunyan
Image
I am content with what I have, little be it, or much.
John Bunyan
Image
Nae man can tether time nor tide.
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
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
Some said, John, print it others said Not so. Some said, It might do good others said, No.
