Who would true valour see, Let him come hither One here will constant be, Come wind, come weather There’s no discouragement Shall make him once relent His first avowed intent To be a pilgrim.
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
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

The man who does not know the nature of the Law, cannot know the nature of sin.
John Bunyan

Afflictions make the heart more deep, more experimental, more knowing and profound, and so, more able to hold, to contain, and beat more.
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
No child of God sins to that degree as to make himself incapable of forgiveness.
John Bunyan
Image
Some said, John, print it others said Not so. Some said, It might do good others said, No.
John Bunyan
Image
a man there was, though some did count him mad, the more he cast away the more he had.
John Bunyan
Image
I am content with what I have, little be it, or much.
John Bunyan
Image
One leak will sink a ship: and one sin will destroy a sinner.
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
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
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
But pleasures are like poppies spread: You seize the flower
