Our sins are debts that none can pay but Christ. It is not our tears, but His blood; it is not our sighs, but His sufferings, that can testify for our sins. Christ must pay all, or we are prisoners forever.

— Thomas Brooks Attributed Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895)

Every man obeys Christ as he prizes Christ, and no otherwise.

Deliver me, O Lord, from that evil man, myself.

Though the scorpion be little, yet will it sting a lion to death; and so will the least sin the sinner, unless pardoned by the blood of Christ.
