It is only practice that improves our minds as well as bodies, and we must expect nothing from our understandings any farther than they are perfected by habits.
—John Locke
Things of this world are in so constant a flux that nothing remains long in the same state.
—John Locke
Many men & women who are troubled for their sin think God will be satisfied by their mourning. But mourning your heart out for 1,000 years will never satisfy the justice of God. Mourning will come to nothing, unless it leads
you to Jesus Christ for satisfaction of God’s justice.
—Jeremiah Burroughs

But there is nothing enduring in the world, and therefore even joy in the second minute is already not as acute as in the first; in the third minute it becomes still weaker and finally merges unnoticeably with the usual condition of the soul, as a circle on the water, caused by the fall of a pebble, finally merges with the smooth surface.
—Nikolai Gogol
In God’s worship there must be nothing tendered up to God but what he hath commanded; whatsoever we meddle with in the Worship of God, it must be what we have a warrant for out of the Word of God.

On the unforgettable day of my confirmation, I told myself that they would not make a soldier out of me. They didn’t. Not only have I not studied a single gun technique deeply, even superficially. And it flatters my ego. Childishness — and nothing more.
—Taras Shevchenko
Nice privacy! Nothing in life can be sweeter, more charming than solitude, especially in the face of the smiling, blossoming beauty of Mother Nature. Under its sweet magical charm, a person involuntarily plunges into himself and sees God on earth, as the poet says.
—Taras Shevchenko
Whatsoever is in God, is God Himself, from this Name Jehovah. He is an Absolute Being, nothing but Himself. This is the difference between God and any Creature.
—Jeremiah Burroughs
Nothing is more dangerous than a sample of one.
