Good prayers never come creeping home. I am sure I shall receive either what I ask, or what I should ask.

Society is the atmosphere of souls; and we necessarily imbibe from it something which is either infectious or healthful.

Nothing fools people as much as extreme passion.

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

Rich people should consider that they are only trustees for what they possess, and should show their wealth to be more in doing good than merely in having it. They should not reserve their benevolence for purposes after they are dead, for those who give not of their property till they die show that they would not then if they could keep it any longer.

Let me know myself; let others guess at me.

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