Thomas Brooks
Image
The sovereignty of God is that golden sceptre in his hand by which he will make all bow, either by his word or by his works, by his mercies or by his judgements.
Thomas Brooks

Pleasures seem solid in their pursuit but are mere clouds in the enjoyment.
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.
Thomas Brooks
Image
It is better to have a sore than a seared conscience.
Thomas Brooks
