How quickly a truly benevolent act is repaid by the consciousness of having done it!
Mystery and innocence are not akin.
The law of heaven is love.
Those who commit injustice bear the greatest burden.
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!
Death comes to us, under many conditions, with all the welcome serenity of sleep.
