The State, in choosing men to serve it, takes no notice of their opinions. If they be willing faithfully to serve it, that satisfies.

No one rises so high as he who knows not whither he is going.

He who ceases to be better, ceases to be good.

Work hard, trust in God, and keep your bowels open.

It's a blessed thing to die daily. For what is there in this world to be accounted of! The best men according to the flesh, and things, are lighter than vanity. I find this only good, to love the Lord and his poor despised people, to do for them and to be ready to suffer with them....and he that is found worthy of this hath obtained great favour from the Lord; and he that is established in this shall ( being conformed to Christ and the rest of the Body) participate in the glory of a resurrection which will answer all.

I have learned that if you fear God, you have no one else to fear.

My prayer is that God give me no longer life than I shall be glad to use mine office in edification, and not in destruction.
