This life was not intended to be the place of our perfection, but the preparation for it.
Richard Baxter

You shall find this to be God's usual course: not to give his children the taste of his delights till they begin to sweat in seeking after them.
Richard Baxter
Image
Despair of ever being saved, except thou be born again, or of seeing God without holiness, or of having part in Christ except thou love him above father, mother, or thy own life. This kind of despair is one of the first steps to heaven.

Richard Baxter
Image
Is it but right that our hearts should be on God, when the heart of God is so much on us.
Richard Baxter
Image
To be the people of God without regeneration, is as impossible as to be the children of men without generation.
Richard Baxter
Image
Prayer must carry on our work as much as preaching he preacheth not heartily to his people that will not pray for them.
Richard Baxter
Image

Richard Baxter
Image
Do not mathematics and all sciences seem full of contradictions and impossibilities to the ignorant, which are all resolved and cleared to those that understand them?
Richard Baxter
Image
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.
