Religion, in its purity, is not so much a pursuit as a temper; or rather it is a temper, leading to the pursuit of all that is high and holy. Its foundation is faith; its action, works; its temper, holiness; its aim, obedience to God in improvement of self, and benevolence to men.

The pleasures of humility are really the most refined, inward, and exquisite delights in the world.

He who does not know Him, knows nothing else as it truly is.

Resolved, never to do anything out of revenge.
