Richard Baxter
To be the people of God without regeneration, is as impossible as to be the children of men without generation.
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

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
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
We must study as hard how to live well as how to preach well.
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
