Those who give not till they die show that they would not then if they could keep it any longer.

It is not he that reads most, but he that meditates most on Divine truth, that will prove the choicest, wisest, strongest Christian.

As the most generous vine, if it is not pruned, runs out into many superfluous stems, and grows at last weak and fruitless; so dote the best man, if he be not cut short of his desires and pruned with afflictions. If it be painful to bleed, it is worse to wither. Let me be pruned, that I may grow, rather than be cut up to burn.

Even the best things ill used become evils; and, contrarily, the worst things used well prove good.

Those that dare lose a day, ate dangerously prodigal; those that dare misspend it, are desperate.

He that taketh his own cares upon himself loads himself in vain with an uneasy burden. I will cast all my cares on God; He hath bidden me; they cannot burden Him.

Try to be of some use to others.
