Wise Sayings is a collection of pithy, striking, and memorable quotations drawn from the works of the much-loved English Puritan, Thomas Watson (c. 1620–1686). Arranged alphabetically and covering some forty-five topics, they introduce the reader to Watson’s penetrating theological insights and practical pastoral wisdom, more of which can be found in the Works of Thomas Watson, also published by the Trust.
