1600-1661, Scottish Pastor
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 – [Children]


My faith has no bed to sleep upon but omnipotence.
Samuel Rutherford – [Faith]


Of all created comforts, God is the lender; you are the borrower, not the owner.
Samuel Rutherford – [Comfort]


You will not be carried to Heaven lying at ease upon a feather bed.
Samuel Rutherford – [Dedication]
