Geerhardus Vos: " Not only must truth from the nature of the case be the prime mover in every religious activity of the soul and in all progress of piety, but also the more fundamental and ultimate the truth apprehended, the greater will prove the power stored up in it for fructifying and quickening spiritual life."
Thomas Watson: "A perjured person is the devil's excrement. He is cursed in his name, and seared in his conscience. Hell gapes for such a windfall" (The Ten Commandments, p. 172).
