We live so little time in this world that it is no matter how wretched and miserable we are, if it prepares us for heaven.

It is our duty to be faithful, not with eye service as men pleasers.

He will bring us all, rich and poor, white and black, to his judgment seat.

As we depend upon our masters, for what we eat and drink and wear, and for all our comfortable things in this world, we cannot be happy, unless we please them.

If a servant strives to please his master and studies and takes pains to do it, I believe there are but few masters who would use such a servant cruelly.

You know that murder is wicked. If you saw your master kill a man, do you suppose this would be any excuse for you, if you should commit the same crime?

Besides all this, if you are idle, and take to bad courses, you will hurt those of your brethren who are slaves, and do all in your power to prevent their being free.
