Time can take nothing from the BIBLE. It is the living monitor. Like the sun, it is the same in its light and influence to man this day which it was years ago. It can meet every present inquiry and console every present loss

More quotes by Richard Cecil
The man who labors to please his neighbor for his good to edification has the mind that was in Christ. It is a sinner trying to help a sinner. Even a feeble, but kind and tender man, will effect more than a genius, who is rough and artificial.
Richard Cecil
The nurse of infidelity is sensuality.
Richard Cecil
Sin, without strong restraints, would pull God from His throne, make the world the minion of its lusts, and all beings bow down and worship.
Richard Cecil
In viewing the scheme of redemption, I seem like one viewing a vast and complicated machine of exquisite contrivance what I comprehend of it is wonderful, what I do not, is, perhaps, more so still.
Richard Cecil
Self-will so ardent and active that it will break a world to pieces to make a stool to sit on.
Richard Cecil
Duties are ours events are God's. This removes an infinite burden from the shoulders of a miserable, tempted, dying creature. On this consideration only, can he securely lay down his head, and close his eyes.
Richard Cecil
Wisdom prepares for the worst, but folly leaves the worst for the day when it comes.
Richard Cecil
The only instance of praying to saints, mentioned in the Bible, is that of the rich man in torment calling upon Abraham and let it be remembered, that it was practised only by a lost soul and without success.
Richard Cecil

Richard Cecil
I could write down twenty cases wherein I wished that God had done otherwise than he did, but which I now see, if I had had my own way, would have led to extensive mischief.
Richard Cecil
When a founder has cast a bell he does not presently fix it in the steeple, but tries it with his hammer, and beats it on every side to see if there be any flaw in it. So Christ doth not presently after he hath converted a man, convey him to heaven but suffers him first to be beaten upon by many temptations and then exalts him to his crown.
Richard Cecil
Nothing can be proposed so wild or so absurd as not to find a party, and often a very large party to espouse it.
Richard Cecil
Unbelief starves the soul faith finds food in famine.
Richard Cecil
The Christian will find his parentheses for prayer even in the busiest hours of life.
Richard Cecil
Prayer is faith passing into action.
Richard Cecil
Faith laughs at the shaking of the spear unbelief trembles at the shaking of a leaf.
Richard Cecil
Religion is such a belief of the Bible as maintains a living influence on the heart.
Richard Cecil
Every man is an original and solitary character. None can either understand or feel the book of his own life like himself.
Richard Cecil
He who sows, even with tears, the precious seed of faith, hope, and love, shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves with him, because it is the very nature of that seed to yield a joyful harvest.
Richard Cecil
Regeneration is God's disposing the heart to Himself conversion is the actual turning of the heart to God.
