More quotes by Richard Baxter
Is it not enough that all the world is against us, but we must also be against one another? O happy days of persecution, which drove us together in love, whom the sunshine of liberty and prosperity crumbles into dust by our contentions!
Richard Baxter
Never does sin so reign in the Church or State, as when it has gained reputation,or, at least, is no disgrace to the sinner,nor is a matter od offence to we who behold it.
Richard Baxter
You are not likely to see any general reformation, till you procure family reformation.
Richard Baxter

Richard Baxter
That which once was, will be no more. Yesterday will never come again. To-day is passing, and will not return. You may work while it is day but when you have lost that day, it will not return for you to work in. While your candle burns, you may make use of its light, but when it is done, it is too late to use it.
Richard Baxter
Do not waste your time on light, weak, milkĀtoast ministries and books
Richard Baxter
It is not a terrible thing to a wretched soul, when it shall lie roaring perpetually in the flames of hell, and the God of mercy himself shall laugh at them when...God shall mock them instead of relieving them when none in heaven or earth can help them but God, and he shall rejoice over them in their calamity
Richard Baxter
I preached as never sure to preach again, And as a dying man to dying men.
Richard Baxter
I have pain there is no arguing against sense, but I have peace, I have peace.
Richard Baxter
It is a contradiction to be a sanctified man, or a true christian, and not humble.
Richard Baxter
It is not the reading of many books which is necessary to make a man wise or good but well reading of a few.
Richard Baxter
We shall then have joy without sorrow, and rest without weariness...Be of good cheer, Christian, the time is near, when God and thou shalt be near, and as near as thou canst well desire. Thou shalt dwell in his family.
Richard Baxter
'Tis hard preaching a stone into tears, or making a rock to tremble.
Richard Baxter
God takes men's hearty desires and will, instead of the deed, where they have not power to fulfill it but he never took the bare deed instead of the will.
Richard Baxter
If you do not see yourselves and all things as living, moving, and having their being in God, you see nothing, whatever you may think you see.
Richard Baxter
Such is the depth of the Christian Scriptures, that even if I were attempting to study them and nothing else from early boyhood to decrepit old age, with the utmost leisure, the most unwearied zeal, and talents greater than I have, I would be still daily making progress in discovering their treasures.
Richard Baxter
It is true, that men may have Christ whenever they are willing to comply with His terms. But if you are not willing now, how can you think you shall be willing hereafter?
