Riches without law are more dangerous than is poverty without law

Do not give, as many rich men do, like a hen that lays her eggs ...and then cackles.

God wishes to exhaust all means of kindness before His hand takes hold on justice.

The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won't.

Thou, Everlasting Strength, hast set Thyself forth to bear our burdens. May we bear Thy cross, and bearing that; find there is nothing else to bear; and touching that cross, find that instead of taking away our strength, it adds thereto. Give us faith for darkness, for trouble, for sorrow, for bereavement, for disappointment; give us a faith that will abide though the earth itself should pass away--a faith for living, a faith for dying.

To do good work a man should no doubt be industrious. To do great work he must certainly be idle a well.

No man can tell another his faults so as to benefit him, unless he loves him.
