Image
A drunkard is the annoyance of modesty, the trouble of civility, the spoil of wealth, the distraction of reason. He is the brewer's agent, the tavern and alehouse benefactor, the beggar's companion, the constable's trouble, his wife's woe, his children's sorrow, his neighbours scoff, his own shame.

The eye is the pulse of the soul as physicians judge of the heart by the pulse, so we by the eye a rolling eye, a roving heart. The good eye keeps minute time, and strikes when it should the lustful, crochet-time, and so puts all out of tune.

Our mind is where our pleasure is, our heart is where our treasure is, our love is where our life is, but all these, our pleasure, treasure, and life, are reposed in Jesus Christ.
Thomas Adams
Image
The Bible is to us what the star was to the wise men but if we spend all our time in gazing upon it, observing its motions, and admiring its splendor, without being led to Christ by it, the use of it will be lost on us.
Thomas Adams

The ambitious climb high and perilous stairs, and never care how to come down the desire of rising hath swallowed up their fear of a fall.
Thomas Adams
Image
The covetous man is like a camel with a great hunch on his back heaven's gate must be made Higher and broader, or he will hardly get in.

Better a holy discord than a profane concord.
