John Bunyan
Image
The law, instead of cleansing the heart from sin, doth revive it, put strength into, and increase it in the soul, even as it doth discover and forbid it, for it doth not give power to subdue.
John Bunyan
Image
Nae man can tether time nor tide.
John Bunyan
Image
He hath given me rest by His sorrow, and life by His death.
John Bunyan

Prayer will make a man cease from sin, or sin will entice a man to cease from prayer.
John Bunyan
Image
Words easy to be understood do often hit the mark, when high and learned ones do only pierce the air.
John Bunyan
Image
The best prayers have often more groans than words.
John Bunyan
Image
Breathes there a man, whose judgment clear Can others teach their course to steer, Yet run himself life's mad career Wild as the wave?
John Bunyan
Image
Pray and read, read and pray for a little from God is better than a great deal from men.
John Bunyan
Image
In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.
John Bunyan
