O Contentment, make me rich! for without thee there is no wealth.
Court the society of a superior, and make much of the opportunity; for in the company of an equal thy good fortune must decline.
Be not so severe as to cause shyness, nor so clement as to encourage boldness.
Great God, have pity on the wicked, for thou didst everything for the good, when thou madest them good!
Whatever makes an impression on the heart seems lovely in the eye.
Now that another is suffering pain at thy hand, trust not that thy heart shall be exempt from affliction.
