A weak faith can lay hold on a strong Christ.
Thomas Watson
Image
There is more evil in a drop of sin than in a sea of affliction.
Thomas Watson
Image
Prayer as it comes from the saint is weak and languid but when the arrow of a saint's prayer is put into the bow of Christ's intercession it pierces the throne of grace.

Image
The torments of hell abide for ever.... If all the earth and sea were sand, and every thousandth year a bird should come, and take away one grain of this sand, it would be a long time ere that vast heap of sand were emptied yet, if after all that time the damned may come out of hell, there were some hope but this word EVER breaks the heart.
Thomas Watson
Image
None so empty of grace as he that thinks he is full.
Thomas Watson
Image
God will fill the hungry because He Himself has stirred up the hunger. As in the case of prayer, when God prepares the heart to pray, He prepares His ear to hear (Ps. 10:17). So in the case of spiritual hunger, when God prepares the heart to hunger, He will prepare His hand to fill.

Solve it. Solve it quickly, solve it right or wrong. If you solve it wrong, it will come back and slap you in the face, and then you can solve it right. Lying dead in the water and doing nothing is a comfortable alternative because it is without risk, but it is an absolutely fatal way to manage a business.

Joining a company is an act that calls for absolute loyalty in big matters and little ones.
Thomas Watson
Image
The right manner of growth is to grow less in one's own eyes.
Thomas Watson
Image
If a wicked man seems to have peace at death, it is not from the knowledge of his happiness, but from the ignorance of his danger.
Thomas Watson
Image
Prayer is the soul's breathing itself into the bosom of its heavenly Father.
Thomas Watson
Image
He that loves the world, how active is he! He will break his peace and sleep for it. He that loves honour, what hazards will he run! He will swim to the throne in blood.... Love heaven, and you cannot miss it love breaks through all opposition-it takes heaven by storm.

If you don't genuinely like your customers, chances are they won't buy.

Image
The Ediles among the Romans had their doors always standing open, that all who had petitions might have free access to them. The door of heaven is always open for the prayers of God's people.
