David Brainerd

“I am more weary of life, I think, than ever I was.”

“Worldly pleasures, such as flow from greatness, riches, honours, and sensual gratifications, are infinitely worse than none.”

“I have withstood the power of convictions a long time; and therefore I fear I shall be finally left of God.”

“First, Resolve upon, and daily endeavour to practise, a life of seriousness and strict sobriety.”
