An humble soul looks upon Christ's righteousness as his only crown.
Thomas Brooks
Image
He who stands upon his own strength will never stand.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Consider that the trials and troubles, the calamities and miseries, the crosses and losses that you meet with in this world, are all the hell that ever you shall have.
Thomas Brooks
Image
There are no souls in the world that are so fearful to judge others as those that do most judge themselves, nor so careful to make a righteous judgment of men or things as those that are most careful to judge themselves.
Thomas Brooks
Image
If God were not my friend, Satan would not be so much my enemy.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Better to bear than to swear, and to die than to lie.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Faith is the champion of Grace, and Love the nurse but Humility is the beauty of Grace.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Those sins that seem most sweet in life, will prove most bitter in death
Thomas Brooks
Image
Carnal reason is an enemy to faith: it is ever crossing and contradicting it. It will never be well with thee, Christian, so long as thou art swayed by carnal reason, and you rely more upon thy five senses, than upon the four Evangelists. As the body lives by breathing, so the soul lives by believing.
Thomas Brooks
Image
There is no such way to get much grace, as to be thankful for a little grace. He who opens his mouth wide in praise, shall have his heart lled with graces. Ingratitude stops the ear of God, and shuts the hand of God, and turns away the heart of the God of grace and therefore we had need to be thankful for a little grace.
Thomas Brooks
Image
There is no such way to attain to greater measures of grace, as for a man to live up to that little grace he has.
Thomas Brooks
Image
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
Image
Christ is the sun, and all the watches of our lives should be set by the dial of his motion.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Truth is mighty and will prevail
Thomas Brooks
Image
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
Image
In a storm there is no shelter like the wings of God.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Fire and water may as well agree in the same vessel, as grace and sin in the same heart.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Ah, believer, it is only Heaven that is above all winds, storms, and tempests God did not cast man out of Paradise that he might find another paradise in this world.
Thomas Brooks
Image
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
Image
Ambition is a gilded misery, a secret poison, a hidden plague, the engineer of deceit, the mother of hypocrisy, the parent of envy, the original of vices, the moth of holiness, the blinder of hearts, turning medicines into maladies, and remedies into diseases.
