Man, being not only a religious, but also a social being, requires for the promotion of his rational happiness religious institutions, which, while they give a proper direction to devotion, at the same time make a wise and profitable improvement of his social feelings.

Tears of joy are like the summer rain drops pierced by sunbeams.

The eye is inlet to the soul.

A good smile is the sunshine of wisdom.

Those who commit injustice bear the greatest burden.

Reproof, especially as it relates to children, administered in all gentleness, will render the culprit not afraid, but ashamed to repeat the offence.

The cloudy weather melts at length into beauty, and the brightest smiles of the heart are born of its tears.
