Truth lives in the cellar, error on the doorstep.

Ordinarily when a man in difficulty turns to prayer, he has already tried every other means of escape.

A charitable man is like an apple tree-he gives his fruit and is silent; the philanthropist is like the successful hen.

If you combine all the spectral rays into a single beam, you get white light; and, if you combine all the virtues into a single beam, you get charity.

It is as easy to give advice to yourself as to others, and as useless.

Treat kindly every miserable truth that knocks begging at your door, otherwise you will some day fail to recognize Truth Himself when He comes in rags.

A drunkard is like a whiskey-bottle, all neck and belly and no head.
