There is one court whose findings are incontrovertible, and whose sessions are held in the chambers of our own breast.

Hatred is self-punishment.

True repentance also involves reform.

Some clergymen make a motto, instead of a theme, of their texts.

Prosperity is very liable to bring pride among the other goods with which it endows an individual; it is then that prosperity costs too dear.

None but the guilty know the withering pains of repentance.

Be circumspect in your dealings, and let the seed you plant be the offspring of prudence and care; thus fruit follows the fair blossom, as honor follows a good life.
