Error is always more busy than truth.

A single bad habit will mar an otherwise faultless character, as an ink-drop soileth the pure white page.

No one has a greater asset for his business than a man's pride in his work.

Remember, when incited to slander, that it is only he among you who is without sin that may cast the first stone.

The oppression of any people for opinion's sake has rarely had any other effect than to fix those opinions deeper, and render them more important.

O sin, how you paint your face! how you flatter us poor mortals on to death! You never appear to the sinner in your true character; you make fair promises, but you never fulfil one; your tongue is smoother than oil, but the poison of asps is under your lip!

That kind of discipline whose pungent severity is in the manifestations of paternal love, compassion, and tenderness is the most sure of its object.
