Unity in things Necessary, Liberty in things Unnecessary, and Charity in all.

I have pain; there is no arguing against sense, but I have peace, I have peace.

Get masters of families to do their duty, and they will not only spare you a great deal of labor, but will much further the success of your labors.

An ounce of mirth is worth a pound of sorrow.
