Matthew Henry: Frasi in inglese

“The way to preserve the peace of the church is to preserve the purity of it.”

Origine: Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), P. 148.

“Wise anger is like fire from a flint: there is great ado to get it out; and when it does come, it is out again immediately.”

Reported in The Miscellaneous Works of the Rev. Matthew Henry (1830), p. 134.

“I thank Thee first because I was never robbed before; second, because although they took my purse they did not take my life; third, because although they took my all, it was not much; and fourth because it was I who was robbed, and not I who robbed.”

First reported in Arnold Gingrich, Coronet, Volume 17‎ (1944), which characterizes the quote as a diary entry. A much earlier report in "Life of the Rev. Matthew Henry", in Christian Biography (1799), p. 66, has Henry writing:
What reason have I to be thankful to God, that having travelled so much, yet I was never robbed before now. 2. What abundance of evil this love of money is the root of, that four men should venture their lives and souls for ubout half-a-crown a-piece. 3. See the power of Satan working in the children of disobedience. 4. The vanity of worldly wealth—how soon we may be stript of it, how loose we ought to sit to it.
