The Lord gets his best soldiers out of the highlands of affliction.
Affliction comes to us, not to make us sad but sober; not to make us sorry but wise.
Affliction is a treasure, and scarce any man hath enough of it.
Let me tell you I am better acquainted with you for a long absence, as men are with themselves for a long affliction: absence does but hold off a friend, to make one see him the truer.
God's way of answering the Christian's prayer for more patience, experience, hope and love often is to put him into the furnace of affliction.
Affliction is a school of virtue; it corrects levity, and interrupts the confidence of sinning.
God's arrows of affliction are sharp and painful so He can get our attention. He won't let His beloved children get away with sin because He knows it robs us of blessings, opportunities, and even character refinement.
Cure yourself of the affliction of caring how you appear to others. Concern yourself only with how you appear before God, concern yourself only with the idea that God may have of you.
When I am in the cellar of affliction, I look for the Lord's choicest wines.
The sorrow for the dead is the only sorrow from which we refuse to be divorced. Every other wound we seek to heal - every other affliction to forget: but this wound we consider it a duty to keep open - this affliction we cherish and brood over in solitude.
