True repentance always involves reform.

A wise Providence consoles our present afflictions by joys borrowed from the future.

A good smile is the sunshine of wisdom.

Faith, in order to be genuine and of any real value, must be the offspring of that divine love which Jesus manifested when He prayed for His enemies on the cross.

True sympathy is putting ourselves in another's place; and we are moved in proportion to the reality of our imagination.

Ministers who threaten death and destruction employ weapons of weakness. Argument and kindness are alone effectual, flavored by the principles of Divine love.

As the sun's rays will irradiate even the murky pool, and make its stagnant waters to shine like silver, so doth God's goodness and tender mercy, towards the greatest sinner, and the blackest heart, make his own image visible there!
