Seeing God hath thus set us at liberty, what rashness it is for worms of the earth to make new laws; as though God had not been wise enough.

All our words ought to be filled with true sweetness and grace; and this will be so if we mingle the useful with the sweet.

The human heart is a factory of idols...Everyon e of us is, from his mother's womb, expert in inventing idols.
