In the eye of that Supreme Being to whom our whole internal frame is uncovered, dispositions hold the place of actions.

Gentleness corrects whatever is offensive in our manner.

Nothing leads more directly to the breach of charity, and to the injury and molestation of our fellow-creatures, than the indulgence of an ill temper.

In the eye of that Supreme Being to whom our whole internal frame is uncovered, dispositions hold the place of actions.

Nothing, except what flows from the heart, can render even external manners truly pleasing.

What ever purifies the heart also fortifies it.

It is pride which fills the world with so much harshness and severity. We are rigorous to offenses as if we had never offended.
