When we bless God for mercies, we usually prolong them. When we bless God for miseries, we usually end them. Praise is the honey of life which a devout heart extracts from every bloom of providence and grace.

The more objects you set your heart upon, the more thorns there are to tear your peace of mind to shreds.
