Whatsoever we beg of God, let us also work for it.

God is pleased with no music below so much as with the thanksgiving songs of relieved widows and supported orphans; of rejoicing, comforted, and thankful persons.

The private and personal blessings we enjoy- the blessings of immunity, safeguard, liberty and integrity- deserve the thanksgiving of a whole life.

Many are idly busy; Domitian was busy, but then it was in catching flies.

Curiosity is the direct incontinence of the spirit.

It is a little learning, and but a little, which makes men conclude hastily. Experience and humility teach modesty and fear.

He that is choice of his time will be choice of his company, and choice of his actions.
