Thomas Brooks quotes

God hears no more than the heart speaks; and if the heart be dumb, God will certainly be deaf. (Thomas Brooks)
A man's most glorious actions will at last be found to be but glorious sins, if he hath made himself, and not the glory of God, the end of those actions.
Thomas Brooks
Truth is mighty and will prevail.

The best way to do ourselves good is to be doing good to others; the best way to gather is to scatter.

Thomas Brooks
Though true repentance be never too late, yet late repentance is seldom true.

He who stands upon his own strength will never stand.

There is no such way to attain to greater measures of grace, as for a man to live up to that little grace he has.
Thomas Brooks
Though there is nothing more dangerous, yet there is nothing more ordinary, than for weak saints to make their sense and feeling the judge of their condition. We must strive to walk by faith.
Thomas Brooks
Weak Christians are afraid of the shadow of the cross. (Thomas Brooks)
There is oftentimes a great deal of knowledge where there is but little wisdom to improve that knowledge. It is not the most knowing Christian but the most wise Christian that sees, avoids, and escapes Satan's snares. Knowledge without wisdom is like mettle in a blind horse, which is often an occasion of the rider's fall.
Thomas Brooks
It is the very nature of grace to make a man strive to be most eminent in that particular grace which is most opposed to his bosom sin.
Thomas Brooks
Our sins are debts that none can pay but Christ. It is not our tears, but His blood; it is not our sighs, but His sufferings, that can testify for our sins. Christ must pay all, or we are prisoners forever.
Thomas Brooks
Afflictions are but as a dark entry into our Father's house.
Thomas Brooks
He that hath deserved hanging may be glad to escape with a whipping.
Thomas Brooks
Much faith will yield unto us here our heaven, but any faith, if true, will yield us heaven hereafter.
Thomas Brooks
God is as just as he is merciful.
Thomas Brooks
Faith is the champion of Grace, and Love the nurse; but Humility is the beauty of Grace.
Thomas Brooks
We trust as we love, and where we love. If we love Christ much, surely we shall trust him much.
Thomas Brooks
The giving way to a less sin makes way for the committing of a greater. (Thomas Brooks)
