Make philosophy thy journey, theology thy journey's end: philosophy is a pleasant way, but dangerous to him that either tires or retires; in this journey it is safe neither to loiter nor to rest, till thou hast attained thy journey's end; he that sits down a philosopher rises up an atheist.

When ambitious men find an open passage, they are rather busy than dangerous; and if well watched in their proceedings, they will catch them selves in their own snare, and prepare a way for their own destruction.

It is the lot of man but once to die.

God's pleasure is at the end of our prayers.

If virtue accompany it, it is the heart's paradise; if vice associate it, it is the soul's purgatory.

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

Think not thy love to God merits God's love to thee; His acceptance of thy duty crowns His own gifts in thee; man's love to God is nothing but a faint reflection of God's love to man.
