John Bunyan
The heart must be beaten or bruised, and then the sweet scent will come out.
John Bunyan
The difference between true and false repentance lies in this: the man who truly repents cries out against his heart but the other, as Eve, against the serpent, or something else.
John Bunyan
I was never out of my Bible.
John Bunyan
I could not be satisfied unless some fruits did appear in my work.
John Bunyan
Dark clouds bring waters, when the bright bring none.
