Alike to the slave and his oppressor cometh night with sweet refreshment, and half of the life of the most wretched is gladdened by the soothings of sleep.

Take the good with the evil, for ye all are pensioners of God, and none may choose or refuse the cup His wisdom mixeth.

Lay not the plummet to the line; religion hath no landmarks; no human keenness can discern the subtle shades of faith.

None is poor but the mean in mind, the timorous, the weak, and unbelieving; none is wealthy but the affluent in soul, who is satisfied and floweth over.

Spurn not a seeming error, but dig below its surface for the truth.

It is well to lie fallow for a while.

Well-timed silence hath more eloquence than speech.
