Samuel Rutherford

Let your children be as so many flowers, borrowed from God. If the flowers die or wither, thank God for a summer loan of them.

— Samuel Rutherford

Of all created comforts, God is the lender; you are the borrower, not the owner.

— Samuel Rutherford

You will not be carried to Heaven lying at ease upon a feather bed.

— Samuel Rutherford

My faith has no bed to sleep upon but omnipotence.
