There is no truth which the prophets press more steadily upon Israel than that all their national life lies in the sight and on the care of God.

Lives are changed by a moment's listening to conscience, by a single and quiet inclination of the mind.

Into every soul, however purged and fenced, evil appears to have as much freedom of entrance as God Himself.

If we have a heart for the magnitudes of life, it will not seem vain to believe that God Himself should guard it.

Let those who, still in their youth, have preserved their faith and fullness of hope, keep looking up.

The heart which finds life in material wealth is usually certain to go farther and seek for more in the satisfaction of base and sullen appetites.

We breathe the free air, we have the best looking men and handsomest women, and if they envy our position, well they may, for they are a poor, narrow minded, pinch-backed race of man, who chain themselves down to the law of monogamy and live all their days under the dominion of one wife. They aught to be ashamed of such conduct, and the still fouler channel which flows from their practices.
