    John Owen
    “Do you mortify; do you make it your daily work; be always at it whilst you live; cease not a day from this work; be killing sin or it will be killing you.”
    John Owen, The Mortification Of Sin

    John Owen
    “Sin aims always at the utmost; every time it rises up to tempt or entice, might it have its own course, it would go out to the utmost sin in that kind. Every unclean thought or glance would be adultery if it could; every covetous desire would be oppression, every thought of unbelief would be atheism, might it grow to its head. Men may come to that, that sin may not be heard speaking a scandalous word in their hearts - that is, provoking to any great sin with scandal in its mouth; but yet every rise of lust, might it have its course, would come to the height of villainy: it is like the grave that is never satisfied.”
    John Owen, The Mortification of Sin

    “a sense of the love of Christ in the cross; lie at the bottom of all true spiritual mortification”
    John Owen, The Mortification of Sin

    Herman Melville
    “Talk not to me of blasphemy, man; I'd strike the sun if it insulted me.”
    Herman Melville, Moby-Dick or, The Whale

  • #5
    Herman Melville
    “To enjoy bodily warmth, some small part of you must be cold, for there is no quality in this world that is not what it is merely by contrast. Nothing exists in itself. If you flatter yourself that you are all over comfortable, and have been so a long time, then you cannot be said to be comfortable any more. For this reason a sleeping apartment should never be furnished with a fire, which is one of the luxurious discomforts of the rich. For the height of this sort of deliciousness is to have nothing but the blanket between you and your snugness and the cold of the outer air. Then there you lie like the one warm spark in the heart of an arctic crystal.”
    Herman Melville, Moby-Dick or, The Whale

    Herman Melville
    “I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, I'll go to it laughing.”
    Herman Melville, Moby-Dick or, The Whale

  • #7
    Herman Melville
    “It is not down on any map; true places never are.”
    Herman Melville, Moby-Dick or, The Whale

  • #8
    Herman Melville
    “However, a good laugh is a mighty good thing, and rather too scarce a good thing; the more's the pity. So, if any one man, in his own proper person, afford stuff for a good joke to anybody, let him not be backward, but let him cheerfully allow himself to spend and to be spent in that way. And the man that has anything bountifully laughable about him, be sure there is more in that man than you perhaps think for.”
    Herman Melville, Moby-Dick or, The Whale

    Dante Alighieri
    “Because your question searches for deep meaning,
    I shall explain in simple words”
    Dante Alighieri, Inferno

    Seamus Heaney
    “Anyone with gumption and a sharp mind will take the measure of two things: what's said and what's done.”
    Seamus Heaney, Beowulf

  • #11
    Burton Raffel
    “Quickly, the dragon came at him, encouraged
    As Beowulf fell back; its breath flared,
    And he suffered, wrapped around in swirling
    Flames -- a king, before, but now
    A beaten warrior. None of his comrades
    Came to him, helped him, his brave and noble
    Followers; they ran for their lives, fled
    Deep in a wood. And only one of them
    Remained, stood there, miserable, remembering,
    As a good man must, what kinship should mean.”
    Burton Raffel, Beowulf

    Seamus Heaney
    “Let whoever can win glory before death.”
    Seamus Heaney, Beowulf

    Richard Sibbes
    “But if God brings us into the cross, He will be with us in the cross, and at length, bring us out more refined. We shall lose nothing but dross.”
    Richard Sibbes, The Bruised Reed

  • #14
    Richard Sibbes
    “Weakness with watchfulness will stand, when strength with too much confidence fails. Weakness, with acknowledgement of it, is the fittest seat and subject for God to perfect his strength in; for consciousness of our infirmities drives us out of ourselves to him in whom our strength lies.”
    Richard Sibbes, The Bruised Reed

  • #15
    Richard Sibbes
    “God knows we have nothing of ourselves, therefore in the covenant of grace he requires no more than he gives, but gives what he requires, and accepts what he gives.”
    Richard Sibbes, The Bruised Reed

  • #16
    Richard Sibbes
    “This bruising is required before conversion that so the Spirit may make way for himself into the heart by levelling all proud, high thoughts, and that we may understand ourselves to be what indeed we are by nature. We love to wander from ourselves and to be strangers at home, till God bruises us by one cross or other, and then we `begin to think', and come home to ourselves with the prodigal (Luke 15:17). It is a very hard thing to bring a dull and an evasive heart to cry with feeling for mercy. Our hearts, like criminals, until they be beaten from all evasions, never cry for the mercy of the judge.”
    Richard Sibbes, The Bruised Reed

  • #17
    Richard Sibbes
    “It were a good strife amongst Christians, one to labour to give no offence, and the other to labour to take none. The best men are severe to themselves, tender over others.”
    Richard Sibbes, The Bruised Reed

  • #18
    Richard Sibbes
    “Nothing is so certain as that which is certain after doubts. Shaking settles and roots.”
    Richard Sibbes, The Bruised Reed

  • #19
    Richard Sibbes
    “there is more mercy in Christ than sin in us, there can be no danger in thorough dealing. It is better to go bruised to heaven than sound to hell.”
    Richard Sibbes, The Bruised Reed

  • #20
    Richard Sibbes
    “God can pick sense out of a confused prayer. These desires cry louder in his ears than your sins.”
    Richard Sibbes, The Bruised Reed

  • #21
    Richard Sibbes
    “From our own strength we cannot bear the least trouble, but by the Spirit's assistance we can bear the greatest.”
    Richard Sibbes, The Bruised Reed

  • #22
    Richard Sibbes
    “the more that sin is seen, the more it is hated, and therefore it is less. Dust particles are in a room before the sun shines, but they only appear then.”
    Richard Sibbes, The Bruised Reed: In Today's English

  • #23
    Richard Sibbes
    “If our faith were but as firm as our state in Christ is secure and glorious, what manner of men should we be?”
    Richard Sibbes, The Bruised Reed

  • #24
    Herman Melville
    “Is Ahab, Ahab? Is it I, God, or who, that lifts this arm? But if the great sun move not of himself; but is an errand-boy in heaven; nor one single star can revolve, but by some invisible power; how then can this one small heart beat; this one small brain think thoughts; unless God does that beating, does that thinking, does that living, and not I.”
    Herman Melville, Moby-Dick

  • #25
    Richard Sibbes
    “God sees fit that we should taste of that cup of which his Son drank so deep, that we might feel a little what sin is, and what his Son's love was. But our comfort is that Christ drank the dregs of the cup for us, and will
    succor us, so that our spirits may not utterly fail under that little taste of his displeasure which we may feel. He became not only a man but a curse, a man of sorrows, for us. He was broken that we should not be broken; he was troubled, that we should not be desperately troubled; he became a curse, that we should not be accursed. Whatever may be wished for in an all sufficient comforter is all to be found in Christ.”
    Richard Sibbes, The Bruised Reed

  • #26
    Richard Sibbes
    “After conversion we need bruising so that we might remember that we are reeds and not oaks. Even reeds need bruising because of the remaining pride in our nature and to show us that we live by mercy. Such bruising may help weaker Christians not to be too much discouraged when they see stronger ones shaken and bruised. Thus Peter was bruised when he wept bitterly (Matt. 26:75). This reed, until he met with this bruise, had more wind in him than heart when he said, "Though all forsake you, I will not" (Matt. 26:33). The people of God cannot be without these examples. The heroic deeds of great saints do not comfort the church as much as their falls and bruises do.”
    Richard Sibbes, The Bruised Reed: In Today's English

  • #27
    Richard Sibbes
    “The whole conduct of a Christian is nothing else but knowledge reduced to will, affection and practice.”
    Richard Sibbes, The Bruised Reed

  • #28
    Richard Sibbes
    “Moses, without any mercy, breaks all bruised reeds, and quenches all smoking flax. For the law requires personal, perpetual and perfect obedience from the heart, and that under a most terrible curse, but gives no strength. It is a severe task master, like Pharaoh's, requiring the whole tale ofbricks and yet giving no straw. Christ comes with blessing after blessing, even upon those whom Moses had cursed, and with healing balm for those wounds which Moses had made.”
    richard sibbes, The Bruised Reed

  • #29
    Richard Sibbes
    “Christ refuses none for weakness of parts, that none should be discouraged, but accepts none for greatness,”
    Richard Sibbes, The Bruised Reed

  • #30
    Richard Sibbes
    “It is love in duties that God regards, more than duties themselves.”
    Richard Sibbes, The Bruised Reed
