There is one court whose findings are incontrovertible, and whose sessions are held in the chambers of our own breast.
Hosea BallouIf gratitude is due from children to their earthly parent, how much more is the gratitude of the great family of men due to our father in heaven.

Hosea BallouFew things in this world more trouble people than poverty, or the fear of poverty; and, indeed, it is a sore affliction; but, like all other ills that flesh is heir to, it has its antidote, its reliable remedy. The judicious application of industry, prudence and temperance is a certain cure.
