The posting of quotes by human authors does not constitute agreement with either the quotes or their sources. (I try to confirm the sources that I give, but may miss on occasion; please verify if possible.)
"To know the truth is to be 'a disciple indeed,' and to be made blessedly free." -- J. C. Philpot
"Holy Scripture...is to be believed, as God's instruction, in all that it affirms; obeyed, as God's command, in all that it requires; embraced, as God's pledge, in all that it promises." -- From "Short Statement" No. 2 in The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy
"Let me be homo unius libri." -- John Wesley (“a man of one book,” that is, the Bible; possibly the Latin used this way originating with Thomas Aquinas)
"I meditate thereon [difficult Bible passages] with all the attention and earnestness of which my mind is capable. If any doubt still remains, I consult those who are more experienced in the things of God, and then the writing whereby being dead they yet speak. And what I thus learn, that I teach." -- credited to John Wesley in Raleigh Christian Advocate (Raleigh, NC), Vol. XX, No. 37; Wednesday, Sept 23, 1874, p. 1
"A worldly kingdom cannot exist without an inequality of persons, some being free, some imprisoned, some lords, some subjects." -- Martin Luther

"Houston wasn’t judged, we all were. Puerto Rico wasn’t judged, we all were. All of creation points to its Creator. Even the hurricanes." -- Mike White, Columbus, Ohio
