The goodness of God to mankind is no less evinced in the chastisement with which He corrects His children than in the smiles of His providence; for the Lord will not cast off forever, but though He cause grief, yet will He have compassion according to the multitude of His mercies.

Suspicion is far more to be wrong than right; more often unjust than just. It is no friend to virtue, and always an enemy to happiness.

A good smile is the sunshine of wisdom.

Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul; and the heart of man knoweth none more fragrant.

Those who commit injustice bear the greatest burden.

How white are the fair robes of Charity as she walketh amid the lowly habitations of the poor!

The eye is inlet to the soul.
