“Fools measure actions, after they are done, by the event; wise men beforehand, by the rules of reason and right. The former look to the end, to judge of the act.

“The godly man contrarily is afraid of nothing; not of God, because he knows Him his best friend, and will not hurt him; not of Satan, because he cannot hurt him; not of afflictions, because he knows they come from a loving God, and end in his good; not of the creatures, since "the very stones in the field are in league with Him;" not of himself, since his conscience is at peace.” KnowsMenEndsHurtFieldsCreaturesConscienceStonesLeagueSatanAfflictionGodlyLoving GodGodlinessGodly Man Author:Joseph Hall
“Infidelity and faith look both through the perspective glass, but at contrary ends. Infidelity looks through the wrong end of the glass; and, therefore, sees those objects near which are afar off, and makes great things little,-diminishing the greatest spiritual blessings, and removing far from us threatened evils. Faith looks at the right end, and brings the blessings that are far off in time close to our eye, and multiplies God's mercies, which, in a distance, lost their greatness.” LooksLittlesEndsEyeSpiritualEvilLostObjectsGreatnessPerspectiveBlessingMercyDistanceGlassesContraryGreat ThingsInfidelityThreatenedAfarSpiritual Blessings Book:Works: With Some Account of His Life and Sufferings Source: Works: With Some Account of His Life and Sufferings
