“If my pen were both able, and at leisure, to get glory in paper, it would be but a paper glory when I had gotten it; but if by displaying (which is the design of these papers) the transcendent excellency of Jesus Christ, I may win glory to Him from you, to whom I humbly offer them, or from any other into whose hands providence shall cast them, that will be glory indeed, and an occasion of glorifying God to all eternity.” ~ John Flavel, The Works of John Flavel, Vol. 1, p. xvii.

“I endeavour to be one of those who write because they have made some progress, and who, by means of writing, make further progress.” ~ Augustine of Hippo, Letter 143.2.
