The heart, when broken, is like sweet gums and spices when beaten for as such cast their fragrant scent into the nostrils of men, so the heart, when broken, casts its sweet smell into the nostrils of God.

More quotes by John Bunyan
Now, Mr. Great-heart was a strong man, so he was not afraid of a lion.
John Bunyan
It is said that in some countries trees will grow, but will bear no fruit because there is no winter there.
John Bunyan
Our sins, when laid upon Christ, were yet personally ours, not his so his righteousness, when put upon us, is yet personally his, not ours.
John Bunyan
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
Grace can pardon our ungodliness and justify us with Christ's righteousness it can put the Spirit of Jesus Christ within us it can help us when we are down it can heal us when we are wounded it can multiply pardons, as we through frailty multiply transgressions.
John Bunyan
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
A comely sight indeed it is to see, a world of blossoms on an apple tree.
John Bunyan
He hath given me rest by His sorrow, and life by His death.
John Bunyan
To pray rightly, you must make God your hope, stay, and all. Right prayer sees nothing substantial or worth being concerned about except God.
John Bunyan
He that is down needs fear no fall.
John Bunyan
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
I live because I am a Warrior and because I wish one day to be in the company of [She] for whom I have fought so hard
John Bunyan
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
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
I was never out of my Bible.
John Bunyan
But pleasures are like poppies spread: You seize the flower
John Bunyan
The heart must be beaten or bruised, and then the sweet scent will come out.
John Bunyan
We know not the matter of the things for which we should pray, neither the object to whom we pray, nor the medium by or through whom we pray none of these things know we, but by the help and assistance of the Spirit.
John Bunyan
Pray and read, read and pray for a little from God is better than a great deal from men.
John Bunyan
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.
