Short pithy gems from the Puritan Thomas Watson!

   ~  ~  ~  ~
 
Eternity to the godly--is a day that has no sunset.
Eternity to the wicked--is a night that has no sunrise.
   ~  ~  ~  ~

Christ is never sweet--until sin is felt to be bitter.
   ~  ~  ~  ~

Christ will not throw away His pearls, for every speck of dirt!
   ~  ~  ~  ~

The world is a flattering enemy--it kills by embracing. Whom the world kisses--it betrays.
Is Heaven in your eye, and Christ in your heart, and the world under your feet?
   ~  ~  ~  ~
Christ shed tears--for those who shed His blood!
   ~  ~  ~  ~
The pleasure of sin is soon gone--but the sting remains!
   ~  ~  ~  ~
He who believes not in the blood of the Lamb--must feel the wrath of the Lamb.
   ~  ~  ~  ~
Sin has the devil for its father, shame for its companion, and death for its wages!
