No man can hinder our private addresses to God; every man can build a chapel in his breast, himself the priest, his heart the sacrifice, and the earth he treads on, the altar.

God hath given to man a short time here upon earth, and yet upon this short time eternity depends.

Know that you are your greatest enemy, but also your greatest friend.

since God has appointed one remedy for all the evils in the world and that is a contented spirit.

When you lie down with a short prayer, commit yourself into the hands of your Creator; and when you have done so, trust Him with yourself, as you must do when you are dying.

Friendship is the strongest bond in the world.

Man and wife are equally concerned, to avoid all offence of each other, in the beginning of their conversation. Every little thing can blast an infant blossom.
