Society is the atmosphere of souls; and we necessarily imbibe from it something which is either infectious or healthful.
Joseph HallFor every bad there might be a worse; and when one breaks his leg let him be thankful it was not his neck.
Joseph HallThose who give not till they die show that they would not then if they could keep it any longer.
Joseph HallNow you say, alas! Christianity is hard; I grant it; but gainful and happy. I contemn the difficulty when I respect the advantage. The greatest labors that have answerable requitals are less than the least that have no regard. Believe me, when I look to the reward, I would not have the work easier. It is a good Master whom we serve, who not only pays, but gives; not after the proportion of our earnings, but of His own mercy.
Joseph Hall
