As Honey Tasted - Ryle
"As honey tasted, seems to make all other things seem tohave no taste at all; so does the cross seen by faith,take all the sweetness out of the pleasures of the world."
-J.C. Ryle (The Cross of Christ)
"Remember that it is not hasty reading, but serious meditation on holy and heavenly truths, that makes them prove sweet and profitable to the soul. It is not the mere touching of the flower by the bee that gathers honey, but her abiding for a time on the flower that draws out the sweet. It is not he that reads most, but he that meditates most, that will prove to be the choicest, sweetest, wisest and strongest Christian." (Thomas Brooks)

Ryle could write in away that was easy to read. We need more men like him today.
