We steal if we touch tomorrow. It is God's.

God appoints our graces to be nurses to other men's weaknesses.

If we would have anything of benefit, we must earn it, and earning it become shrewd, inventive, ingenious, active, enterprising.

But there have been human hearts, constituted just like ours, for six thousand years. The same stars rise and set upon this globe that rose upon the plains of Shinar or along the Egyptian Nile and the same sorrows rise and set in every age.

There is not a person we employ who does not, like ourselves, desire recognition, praise, gentleness, forbearance, patience.

Watch lest prosperity destroy generosity.

In this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich.
