John Bunyan said this quote

Prayer will make a man cease from sin, or sin will entice a man to cease from prayer.

~ John Bunyan

This hill, though high, I covet to ascend; The difficulty will not me offend. For I perceive the way to life lies here. Come, pluck up, heart; let's neither faint nor fear. Better, though difficult, the right way to go, Than wrong, though easy, where the end is woe.

~ John Bunyan

What God says is best, indeed is best, though all men in the world are against it. Seeing, then, that God prefers his religion; seeing God prefers a tender conscience; seeing they that make themselves fools for the kingdom of heaven are wisest; and that the poor man that loveth Christ is richer than the greatest man in the world that hates him: Shame, depart, thou art an enemy to my salvation.

~ John Bunyan

Whoso beset him roundWith dismal storiesDo but themselves confound,His strength the more is.

~ John Bunyan
