What ardently we wish, we soon believe.
The clouds may drop down titles and estates, and wealth may seek us, but wisdom must be sought.
A Deity believed, is joy begun; A Deity adored, is joy advanced; A Deity beloved, is joy matured. Each branch of piety delight inspires.
Man maketh a death which Nature never made.
One eye on death, and one full fix'd on heaven.
Body and soul, like peevish man and wife, United jar, and yet are loth to part.
