Distance sometimes endears friendships, and sweetens it - for separation from those we love shows us, by the loss, their real value and dearness to us.

All we can do is be better prepared today than yesterday and better prepared tomorrow than today.

Burn not thy fingers to snuff another man's candle.

Little sins are pioneers of hell.

We are saved from nothing if we are not saved from sin.

Choose thy friends like thy books, few but choice.

Words are the soul's ambassadors, who go / Abroad upon her errands to and fro.
