A Quote by John Milton
Truth is compared in Scripture to a streaming fountain; if her waters flow not in perpetual progression, they sicken into a muddy pool of conformity and tradition.

I do not concern myself much with reading long commentary volumes designed to enlarge at length upon that which is found in the scriptures.

Christ is not a reservoir but a spring. His life is continual, active and ever passing on with an outflow as necessary as its inflow.
