The more any one speaks of himself, the less he likes to hear another talked of.

God protects those he loves from worthless reading.

The man who loves with his whole heart truth will love still more he who suffers for truth.

The creditor whose appearance gladdens the heart of a debtor may hold his head in sunbeams and his foot on storms.

The true friend of truth and good loves them under all forms, but he loves them most under the most simple form.

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.
