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
Sin is bad in the eye, worse in the tongue, worse still in the heart, but worst of all in the life.
Thomas Brooks
Image
God sees us in secret, therefore, let, us seek his face in secret. Though heaven be God's palace, yet it is not his prison.
Thomas Brooks

Humility makes a man richer than other men, and it makes a man judge himself the poorest among men.
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

God looks not at the oratory of your prayers, how elegant they may be nor at the geometry of your prayers, how long they may be nor at the arithmetic of your prayers, how many they may be not at logic of your prayers, how methodical they may be but the sincerity of them he looks at.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Cold prayers shall never have any warm answers. God will suit His returns to our requests. Lifeless, services shall have lifeless answers. When men are dull, God will be dumb.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Better to bear than to swear, and to die than to lie.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Sin in a wicked man is like poison in a serpent it is in its natural place.
Thomas Brooks

Truth is mighty and will prevail
Thomas Brooks
Image
Man’s holiness is now his greatest happiness, and in heaven man’s greatest happiness will be his perfect holiness.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Deliver me, O Lord, from that evil man, myself.
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
Faith is the champion of Grace, and Love the nurse but Humility is the beauty of Grace.
Thomas Brooks
Image
That sorrow for sin that keeps the soul from looking towards the mercy seat is a sinful sorrow.
