Whatever obscurities may involve religious tenets, humility and love constitute the essence of true religion; the humble is formed to adore, the loving to associate with eternal love.

The proverbial wisdom of the populace in the street, on the roads, and in the markets instructs the ear of him who studies man more fully than a thousand rules ostentatiously displayed.

True love, like the eye, can bear no flaw.

He scatters enjoyment who can enjoy much.

He knows very little of mankind who expects, by any facts or reasoning, to convince a determined party man.

The great rule of moral conduct is next to God, respect time.

God protects those he loves from worthless reading.
