More quotes by Richard Baxter
If they can see you love them, you can say anything to them.
Richard Baxter
O what a blessed day that will be when I shall . . . stand on the shore and look back on the raging seas I have safely passed when I shall review my pains and sorrows, my fears and tears, and possess the glory which was the end of all!
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
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
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
The very design of the gospel doth tend to self-abasing and the work of grace is begun and carried on in humiliation. Humility is not a mere ornament of a Christian, but an essential part of the new creature: it is a contradiction to be a sanctified man, or a true Christian, and not humble.
Richard Baxter
Unity in things Necessary, Liberty in things Unnecessary, and Charity in all.
Richard Baxter
Paganism attributes the creation of the world to blind chance.
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
For it was thy sin, and the sin of all the world, that lay upon our Redeemer, and his sacrifice and satisfaction is sufficient for all, and the fruits of it are offered to one as well as another, but it is true that it was never the intent of his mind to pardon and save any that would not by faith and repentance be converted.
Richard Baxter
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
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 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
If I were but sure that I should live to see the coming of the Lord, it would be the joyfulest tidings in the world. O that I might see His kingdom come! It is the characteristic of His saints to love His appearing, and to look for that blessed hope. The Spirit and the bride say, Come. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Richard Baxter
Death is half disarmed when the pleasures and interests of the flesh are first denied.
Richard Baxter
Hell is paved with infants skulls.
Richard Baxter
A foolish physician he is, and a most unfaithful friend, that will let a sick man die for fear of troubling him and cruel wretches are we to our friends, that will rather suffer them to go quietly to hell, then we will anger them, or hazard our reputation with them.
Richard Baxter
Screw the truth into men's minds.
Richard Baxter
I preached as never sure to preach again, And as a dying man to dying men.
Richard Baxter
