Zeal without humanity is like a ship without a rudder, liable to be stranded at any moment

Works without faith are like a fish without water, it wants the element it should live in. A building without a basis cannot stand; faith is the foundation, and every good action is as a stone laid.

He that despairs degrades the Deity, and seems to intimate that He is insufficient, or not just to His word; and in vain hath read the scriptures, the world, and man.

Reason and right give the quickest despatch.

Every man should study conciseness in speaking; it is a sign of ignorance not to know that long speeches, though they may please the speaker, are the torture of the hearer.

I love the man that is modestly valiant; that stirs not till he most needs, and then to purpose. A continued patience I commend not.
