Trifles lighter than straws are levers in the building up of character.
Lies can destroy, but not create.
Not few nor light are the burdens of life; then load it not with heaviness of spirit.
Speech is reason's brother, and a kingly prerogative of man.
Invention is activity of mind, as fire is air in motion; a sharpening of the spiritual sight, to discern hidden aptitudes.
Humility mainly becometh the converse of man with his Maker.
