John Newton
As to myself, if I were not a Calvinist, I think I should have no more hope of success in preaching to men, than to horses or cows.
John Newton
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear! It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, And drives away his fear.
John Newton
Zeal without knowledge is like expedition to a man in the dark.
John Newton
We can easily manage if we will only take, each day, the burden appointed to it. But the load will be too heavy for us if we carry yesterday's burden over again today, and then add the burden of the morrow before we are required to bear it.
John Newton
Time, by moments, steals away, First the hour, and then the day Small the daily loss appears, Yet it soon amounts to years
