More quotes by Richard Baxter
Life is short, and we are dull, and eternal things are necessary, and the souls that depend on our teaching are precious.
Richard Baxter
Christ leads me through no darker rooms than He went through before.
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
I take the love of God and self-denial to be the sum of all saving grace and religion.
Richard Baxter
Our very business is to teach the great lesson of self-denial and humility to our people, and how unfit is it then that we should be proud ourselves!
Richard Baxter
Tomorrow is always the sluggard's working day today is his holiday
Richard Baxter
The longer you delay, the more your sin gets strength and rooting. If you cannot bend a twig, how will you be able to bend it when it is a tree?
Richard Baxter
Hell is paved with infants skulls.
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
Paganism attributes the creation of the world to blind chance.
Richard Baxter
I have pain there is no arguing against sense, but I have peace, I have peace.
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
You are not likely to see any general reformation, till you procure family reformation.
Richard Baxter
To be the people of God without regeneration, is as impossible as to be the children of men without generation.
Richard Baxter
If life be long, I will be glad, Tthat I may long obey If short, yet why should I be sad, To soar to endless day?
Richard Baxter
Screw the truth into men's minds.
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 tell you again, God hath not ordinarily decreed the end without the means and if you will neglect the means of salvation, it is a certain mark that God hath not decreed you to salvation. But you shall find that He hath left you no excuse, because He hath not thus predestined you.
Richard Baxter
Keep your children as much as may be from ill company, especially of ungodly playfellows. It is one of the greatest dangers for the undoing of children in the world especially when they are sent to common schools: for there is scarce any of those schools so good, but hath many rude and ungodly ill-taught children in it.
Richard Baxter
Nothing can be rightly known, if God be not known nor is any study well managed, nor to any great purpose, if God is not studied. We know little of the creature, till we know it as it stands related to the Creator.
