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

Friendship is the strongest bond in the world.

He that loves not his wife and children feeds a lioness at home, and broods a nest of sorrows.

The pharisees minded what God spoke, but not what He intended. They were busy in the outward work of the hand, but incurious of the affections and choice of the heart. So God was served in the letter, they did not much inquire into His purpose; and therefore they were curious to wash their hands, but cared not to purify their hearts.

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.

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

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