A Quote by Thomas Brooks

Secret sins commonly lie nearest the heart. — © Thomas Brooks
Secret sins commonly lie nearest the heart.
The keys to the life of the heart lie in reflecting upon the Quran, being humble before Allah in secret, and leaving sins.
The Christian is to proclaim and prosecute an irreconcilable war against his bosom sins; those sins which have lain nearest his heart, must now be trampled under his feet.
A wonderful fact to reflect upon, that every human creature is constituted to be that profound secret and mystery to every other. A solemn consideration, when I enter a great city by night, that every one of those darkly clustered houses encloses its own secret; that every room in every one of them encloses its own secret; that every beating heart in the hundreds of thousands of breasts there, is, in some of its imaginings, a secret to the heart nearest it!
An implicit confession is almost as bad as an implicit faith; wicked men commonly confess their sins by wholesale, We are all sinners; but the true penitent confesses his sins by retail.
A lie is a lie... unless your friends and family are in on it. Then it's a "commonly held belief."
The public scandal is what constitutes the offence: sins sinned in secret are no sins at all.
Fear the sins that you commit in secret, because the Witness of those sins is the Judge Himself!
Sins slowly suffocate the heart, and abandoning sins brings life to the heart.
Lie still, lie still, my breaking heart; My silent heart, lie still and break: Life, and the world, and mine own self, are changed For a dream's sake.
Of the seven deadly sins, surely it is pride that most commonly afflicts the gardener.
Your richest veins don't lie nearest the surface.
It is essential that we renew our covenants by partaking of the sacrament. When we do this with a sincere heart, with real intent, forsaking our sins, and renewing our commitment to God, the Lord provides a way whereby sins can be forgiven from week to week. Simply eating the bread and drinking the water will not bring that forgiveness. We must prepare and then partake with a broken heart and contrite spirit. The spiritual preparation we make to partake of the sacrament is essential to receiving a remission of our sins.
History is the lie commonly agreed upon.
History is a lie commonly agreed upon.
In My Secret Life" "I saw you this morning, you were moving so fast. Can't seem to loosen my grip On the past. And I miss you so much, there's no one in sight. And we're still making love In my secret life. I smile when I am angry, I cheat and I lie, I do what I have to do to get by, In my secret life.
A man's best things are nearest him, Lie close about his feet.
