„Lidstvo nepotřebuje veřejné služebníky, misionáře a jim podobné. Lidstvo potřebuje víc rozumu.“
„Děti jsou nyní tyrany, nikoli služebníky svých domovů.“
Originál: (en) Free-will doctrine-what does it do? It magnifies man into God. It declares God's purposes a nullity, since they cannot be carried out unless men are willing. It makes God's will a waiting servant to the will of man, and the whole covenant of grace dependent on human action. Denying election on the ground of injustice, it holds God to be a debtor to sinners.
„Jsme vězni hodinových ručiček, otroky termínů a služebníky našich bankovek.“
„Slovo ministr znamená služebník – jenže latina je mrtvý jazyk.“

Originál: (en) Nothing gives greater advantage to atheism and infidelity than the carnality of those that make religion a servant to their sensual appetites and secular interests.

Originál: (en) God gave me this great book to preach from, and if He has put anything in it you think is not fit, go and complain to Him, not to me. I am simply His servant, and if His errand that I am to tell is objectionable, I cannot help it.

Tell him that you are a poor vile sinner, and that you come to him on the faith of his own invitation. Tell him you put yourself wholly and entirely in his hands: that you feel vile and helpless, and hopeless in yourself: and that except he saves you, you have no hope of being saved at all. Beseech him to deliver you from guilt, the power, and the consequences of sin. Beseech him to pardon you, and wash you in his own blood. Beseech him to give you a new heart, and plant the Holy Spirit in your soul. Beseech him to give you grace and faith and will and power to be his disciple and servant from this day forever. Oh, reader, go this very day, and tell these things to the Lord Jesus Christ, if you are really in earnest about your soul.] Source: [Ryle, J.

Originál: (en) A man-pleaser cannot be true to God, because he is a servant to the enemies of his service; the wind of a man's mouth will drive him about as the chaff, from any duty, and to any sin.

Herectví je služebné povolání. Já jsem sluha veřejnosti, která si zaplatila lístek do divadla nebo do biografu.

Originál: (en) God takes the most eminent and choicest of His servants for the choicest and most eminent afflictions. They who have received most grace from God are able to bear most afflictions from God. Affliction does not hit the saint by chance, but by direction. God does not draw His bow at a venture. Every one of His arrows goes upon a special errand and touches no breast but his against whom it is sent. It is not only the grace, but the glory of a believer when we can stand and take affliction quietly.
