Other Robert Leighton Quotes

The flower that follows the sun does so even on cloudy days.

Sin first is pleasing, then it grows easy, then delightful, then frequent, then habitual, then confirmed; then the man is impenitent, then he is obstinate, then he is resolved never to repent, and then he is ruined.

Good words do more than hard speeches, as the sunbeams without any noise will make the traveler cast off his cloak, which all the blustering winds could not do, but only make him bind it closer to him.

Adversity is the diamond dust that heaven polishes it's jewels with.
