It is better to receive the greatest thieves into our houses, than vain thoughts into our hearts.
All that appears great and interesting in the present life, abstracted from its influence upon our internal character, and our everlasting allotment, will soon be as unreal as the visions of the night.Letters to a Nobleman
The God who declares that we are to be fruitful and multiply regards it as a great evil when human beings destroy their offspring.

The goal of the Christian life is the pursuit of an intimate knowledge of God that leads to a greater estimation of His worth, a greater satisfaction and joy in His person, and a greater giving of oneself for His glory.
Avoid trivial pursuits. You are a child of God, destined for glory, and called to do great things in His Name. Do not waste your life on hobbies, sports, and other recreational pursuits. Do not throw away the precious moments of your life on entertainment, movies, and video games. Though some of these things can properly have a 'small place' in the Christian's life, we must be careful not to give undue attention to temporal and fruitless activities. Do not waste your life. Employ the time of your youth in developing the character and skills necessary to be a useful servant of God.

Letters to a Nobleman
The goal of Christian life is not to avoid troubles, disappointments, sorrows and injuries-but in all these experiences, to keep free from sin and stain.

What we think about when we are free to think about what we will – that is what we are or will soon become.
The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.
I frequently hear persons in old age say how they would live, if they were to live their lives over again: Resolved, that I will live just so as I can think I shall wish I had done, supposing I live to old age.https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/the-resolutions-of-jonathan-edwards
