Fear is far more painful to cowardice than death to true courage.

Fortify courage with the true rampart of patience.

It is the nature of the strong heart, that like the palm tree it strives ever upwards when it is most burdened.

It is manifest that all government of action is to be gotten by knowledge, and knowledge best, by gathering many knowledges, which is reading.

It is hard, but it is excellent, to find the right knowledge of when correction is necessary and when grace doth most avail.

It is against womanhood to be forward in their own wishes.

A noble heart, like the sun, showeth its greatest countenance in its lowest estate.
