Extravagance is the rich man's pitfall.

Not few nor light are the burdens of life; then load it not with heaviness of spirit.

A spark is a molecule of matter, yet may it kindle the world; vast is the mighty ocean, but drops have made it vast. Despise not thou small things, either for evil or for good; for a look may work thy ruin, or a word create thy wealth.

Anger is a noble infirmity; the generous failing of the just; the one degree that riseth above zeal, asserting the prerogative of virtue.

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

Be understood in thy teaching, and instruct to this measure of capacity; precepts and rules are repulsive to a child, but happy illustration winneth him.

Humility mainly becometh the converse of man with his Maker.
