Quotes by Abraham Wright

1

The sweet spices of divine works must be beaten to powder by meditation, and then laid up in the cabinet of our memories. 

2

Many are ashamed to be seen as God made them; few are ashamed to be seen what the devil hath made them. Many are troubled at small defects in the outward man; few are troubled at the greatest deformities of the inward man; many buy artificial beauty to supply the natural; few spiritual, to supply the defects of the supernatural beauty of the soul.

3

None can hate [sin] but those that love the law of God; for all hatred comes from love. A natural man may be angry with his sin, but hate it he cannot; nay, he may leave it, but not loathe it; if he did, he would loathe all sin as well as any one sin.

4

We may feel God’s hand as a Father upon us when He strikes us as well as when He strokes us.
