"If there is love in pardoning mercy, what is there in crowing mercy? It is a favour that we poor vermin, worms and not men, should be allowed to live; but that worms should be made kings, that Christ should be arraigned and we adorned, that the curse should be laid on his head and the crown on ours -- Behold! what manner of love is this!" - Thomas Watson
"Because he is; that is, because he is an infinitely glorious, good, wise, holy, powerful, righteous, self-subsisting, self-sufficient, and all-sufficient being; the fountain and author of all being and good; the first cause, last end, and sovereign Lord of all; therefore, he is to be worshipped: therefore, are we to admire, adore, and love him; to praise, to trust and to fear him." - John Owen
“O, miserable fall. We have given up that which is what we were made for—our blessedness. And we have received that with which we were not made for—our misery.” —Anslem
