It is a sign of a perverse and treacherous disposition to wound the good name of another, when he has no opportunity of defending himself.

Christ is the most perfect image of God, into which we are so renewed as to bear the image of God, in knowledge, purity, righteousness, and true holiness.

Whoever is not satisfied with Christ alone, strives after something beyond absolute perfection.

All the blessings we enjoy are Divine deposits, committed to our trust on this condition, that they should be dispensed for the benefit of our neighbors.

Against the persecution of a tyrant the godly have no remedy but prayer.

We cannot rely on God's promises without obeying his commandments.
