A good man is kinder to his enemy than bad men are to their friends.

Let others either envy or pity me; I care not, so long as I enjoy myself.

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

Words are as they are taken, and things are as they are used. There are even cursed blessings.
