He that does good to another does good also to himself, not only in the consequence but in the very act. For the consciousness of well-doing is in itself ample reward.
All cruelty springs from weakness.
This life is only a prelude to eternity.
We most often go astray on a well trodden and much frequented road.
Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power.
What nature requires is obtainable, and within easy reach. It is for the superfluous we sweat.
