More quotes by Thomas Brooks
Satan promises the best, but pays with the worst he promises honor, and pays with disgrace he promises pleasure, and pays with pain he promises profit, and pays with loss, he promises life, and pays with death. But God pays as he promises all his payments are made in pure gold.
Thomas Brooks

Thomas Brooks
What labor and pains worldlings take to obtain the vain things of this life-to obtain the poor things of this world, which are but shadows and dreams, and mere nothings!
Thomas Brooks
It is the very nature of grace to make a man strive to be most eminent in that particular grace which is most opposed to his bosom sin.
Thomas Brooks
It is not he who knows most, nor he who hears most, nor yet he who talks most, but he who exercises grace most, who has most communion with God.
Thomas Brooks
Every thing that a man leans upon but God, will be a dart that will certainly pierce his heart through and through. He who leans only upon Christ, lives the highest, choicest, safest, and sweetest life.
Thomas Brooks

Thomas Brooks
God hath in Himself all power to defend you, all wisdom to direct you, all mercy to pardon you, all grace to enrich you, all righteousness to clothe you, all goodness to supply you, and all happiness to crown you.
Thomas Brooks
Pleasures seem solid in their pursuit but are mere clouds in the enjoyment.
Thomas Brooks
It is better to have a sore than a seared conscience.
Thomas Brooks
Prayer crowns God with the honor and glory due to His name, and God crowns prayer with assurance and comfort. The most praying souls are the most assured souls.
Thomas Brooks
It is not the bee's touching of the flower that gathers honey, but her abiding for a time upon the flower that draws out the sweet. It is not he that reads most, but he that meditates most, that will prove the choicest, sweetest, wisest and strongest Christian.
Thomas Brooks
True repentance includes sorrow for sin and contrition of heart. It breaks the heart with sighs and sobs and groans.
Thomas Brooks
If God were not my friend, Satan would not be so much my enemy.
Thomas Brooks
An humble soul looks upon Christ's righteousness as his only crown.
