More quotes by 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
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
That sorrow for sin that keeps the soul from looking towards the mercy seat is a sinful sorrow.
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
Satan often paints sin with virtue's colors.
Thomas Brooks

Thomas Brooks
Prayer is nothing but the breathing that out before the Lord, that was first breathed into us by the Spirit of the Lord.
Thomas Brooks
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
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
The only ground of God's love is his love.
Thomas Brooks
He that will play with Satan's bait, will quickly be taken with Satan's hook.
