To talk of luck and chance only shows how little we really know of the laws which govern cause and effect.
Purity in person and in morals is true godliness.
The eye is inlet to the soul.
Doubt that creed which you cannot reduce to practice.
Folly is like the growth of weeds, always luxurious and spontaneous; wisdom, like flowers, requires cultivation.
No outward change need trouble him who is inwardly serene.
