Blesses his stars and thinks it luxury.

I never knew an early-rising, hard-working, prudent man, careful of his earnings and strictly honest, who complained of hard luck. A good character, good habits and iron industry are impregnable to the assaults of all ill-luck that fools ever dreamed.

If men would consider not so much wherein they differ, as wherein they agree, there would be far less of uncharitableness and angry feeling in the world.

Devotion, when it does not lie under the check of reason, is apt to degenerate into enthusiasm.

Great souls by instinct to each other turn, demand alliance, and in friendship burn.

If there's a power above us, (And that there is all nature cries aloud Through all her works,) he must delight in virtue.

We cannot be guilty of a greater act of uncharitableness, than to interpret the afflictions which befall our neighbors as punishments and judgments.
