The world is to be cleaned by somebody, and you are not called of God if you are ashamed to scrub.
This world is not a platform where you will hear Thalberg-piano-playing. It is a piano manufactory, where are dust and shavings and boards, and saws and files and rasps and sandpapers. The perfect instrument and the music will be hereafter.
Good-nature is one of the richest fruits of true Christianity.
A church debt is the devil's salary.
There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.
Watch lest prosperity destroy generosity.
