Ingratitude is abhorred by God and man.

A plodding diligence brings us sooner to our journey's end than a fluttering way of advancing by starts.

If we should cease to be generous and charitable because another is sordid and ungrateful, it would be much in the power of vice to extinguish Christian virtues.

Live and let live is the rule of common justice.

Wickedness may prosper for awhile, but in the long run, he that sets all the knaves at work will pay them.
