"Are there not millions of us who would rather go sleeping to hell than sweating to heaven?"
- Thomas Watson.
"For unless your hearts are free from worldly hopes and worldly fears, you never will speak boldly, as you ought to speak. The good old Puritans, I believe, never preached better than when in danger of being taken to prison as soon as they had finished their sermon. And however the church may be at peace now, yet I am persuaded, unless you go forth with the same temper, you will never preach with the same demonstration of the Spirit and of power. Study, therefore, my brethren,-I beseech you by the mercies of God in Christ Jesus,-study your hearts as well as books; ask yourselves again and again whether you would preach for Christ, if you were sure to lay down your lives for so doing?"
- George Whitefield.
"What will it cost me for God to break my heart?" - "It will cost you absolutely everything."
- Gerhard DuToit
"How we have prayed for a Revival - we did not care whether it was old-fashioned or not - what we asked for was that it should be such that would cleanse and revive His children and set them on fire to win others."

"The Word of God represents all the possibilities of God as at the disposal of true prayer."
- A. T. Pierson
"Prayer - secret, fervent, believing prayer - lies at the root of all personal godliness."
