To maintain an opinion because it is thine, and not because it is true, is to prefer thyself above the truth.

Take notice not only of the mercies of God, but of God in the mercies. Mercies are never so savoury as when they savour a Saviour.

Virtue and vice are both prophets; the first, of certain good; the second, of pain or else of penitence.

Sin promises like a God but pays like a Devil

All the beauty of the world, 'tis but skin deep.

To maintain an opinion because it is thine, and not because it is true, is to prefer thyself above the truth.

That is good which doth good.
