John Bunyan
Image
Though the world disregard the society of God's children now, yet there is a time coming in which they would be glad to have the least company with them.
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
The heart must be beaten or bruised, and then the sweet scent will come out.
John Bunyan
Image
There hath not one tear dropped from thy tender eye against thy lusts, the love of this world, or for more communion with Jesus Christ, but as it is now in the bottle of God.
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 found it hard work now to pray to God, because despair was swallowing me up
