It is not to be expected that we should love God supremely if we have not known him to be more desirable than all other things.

Logic helps us to strip off the outward disguise of things, and to behold and judge of them in their own nature.

Some persons believe everything that their kindred, their parents, and their tutors believe. The veneration and the love which they have for their ancestors incline them to swallow down all their opinions at once, without examining what truth or falsehood there is in them. Men take their principles by inheritance, and defend them as they would their estates, because they are born heirs to them.

The stars, that in their courses roll, Have much instruction given; But Thy good Word informs my soul How I may climb to Heaven.

What's amiss I'll strive to mend,And endure what can't be mended.

Everyday is a birthday; every moment of it is new to us; we are born again, renewed for fresh work and endeavor.

To God the Father, God the Son, And God the Spirit, Three in One, Be honour, praise, and glory given By all on earth, and all in heaven.
