Heaven is never deaf but when man's heart is dumb.

Let the fear of a danger be a spur to prevent it; he that fears not gives advantage to the danger; it is less folly not to endeavor the prevention of the evil thou fearest than to fear the evil which thy endeavor cannot prevent.

If thou desire to be held wise, be so wise as to hold thy tongue.

Hath any wronged thee? be bravely revenged; slight it, and the work is begun; forgive it, and it is finished; he is below himself that is not above an injury.

The place of charity, like that of God, is everywhere.

No labor is hard, no time is long, wherein the glory of eternity is the mark we level at.

Things temporal are sweeter in the expectation, things eternal are sweeter in the fruition; the first shames thy hope, the second crowns it; it is a vain journey, whose end affords less pleasure than the way.
