More quotes by Matthew Henry
So great was the extremity of his pain and anguish, that he did not only sigh but roar.
Matthew Henry
Whatever we have of this world in our hands, our care must be to keep it out of our hearts, lest it come between us and Christ.
Matthew Henry
A man that is endued with the powers of reason, by which he is capable of knowing, serving, glorifying, and enjoying his Maker, and yet lives without God in the world, is certainly the most despicable and the most miserable animal under the sun.
Matthew Henry
The first lesson in Christ's school is self-denial.
Matthew Henry
All this and heaven too.
Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry
Be careful if you make a women cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man’s ribs. Not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal, under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved.
Matthew Henry
Anger cannot rest in the bosom where love reigns.
Matthew Henry
The better day, the worse deed.
Matthew Henry
God's favour is happiness.
Matthew Henry
He that is in haste may contract much guilt in a little time. What we say or do unadvisedly when we are hot, we must unsay or undo again when we are cool, or do worse.
Matthew Henry
Esther came to a proud imperious man we come to the God of love and grace.
Matthew Henry
If therefore our houses be houses of the Lord, we shall for that reason love home, reckoning our daily devotion the sweetest of our daily delights, and our family worship the most valuable of our family comforts. This will sanctify to us all the conveniences of our houses, and reconcile us to the inconveniences of it.
Matthew Henry
Christ is our temple, in whom by faith all believers meet.
Matthew Henry
