kindle our fire; and without fire,
true fire, no acceptable sacrifice.--WILLIAM PENN.
Every deviation from the rules of charity and brotherly love, of
gentleness and forbearance, of meekness and patience, which our Lord
prescribes to his disciples, however it may appear to be founded on an
attachment to Him and zeal for His service, is in truth a departure
from the religion of Him, "the Son of Man," who "came not to destroy
men's lives, but to save them."--BISHOP MANT.
Violent zeal for truth has a hundred to one odds to be either
petulancy, ambition, or pride.--SWIFT.
Zeal without knowledge is like expedition to a man in the dark.--NEWTON.
Zeal, unless it be rightly guided, when it endeavors the most busily
to please God, forceth upon Him those unseasonable offices which
please Him not.--HOOKER.
We do that in our zeal our calmer moments would be afraid to answer.
--SCOTT.
