Oh study universal holiness of life. Your whole usefulness depends on this. Your sermon on Sabbath lasts but an hour or two – your life preaches all the week. Remember ministers are standard bearers. Satan aims his fiery darts at them. If he can only make you a covetous minister or a lover of pleasure or a lover of praise or a lover of good eating then he has ruined your ministry for ever.
- Memoir and Remains of Robert Murray M’Cheyne, Andrew A Bonar (London: Oliphant, Anderson & Ferrier 1868), p. 362
