Thomas Boston, Works, 4:276:

The labourer for heaven should work, and doth best work, with a trembling hand. It was the fundamental maxim of the heathen moralists, have confidence in yourself. But I may say the Christian maxim is, have no confidence in yourself. He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool. This makes them circumspect to forecast dangers, to walk warily, like a child beginning to walk, or a man recovering of a broken leg, Isa. 38:15. They have an anxious heart and earnest care about their work, seeing they work for eternity.
