Godliness is practical religion.

What is there glorious in the world, that is not the product of labor, either of the body or of the mind?

We may neglect the wrongs which we receive, but be careful to rectify those which we are the cause of to others.

Men cannot labor on always. They must have recreation.

The dead carry our thoughts to another and nobler existence. They teach us, and especially by all the strange and seemingly untoward circumstances of their departure from this life, that they and we shall live in a future state forever.

Truth is the root of all the charities.

The less we parade our misfortunes the more sympathy we command.
