There's one blessing only, the source and cornerstone of beatitude: confidence in self.

A consciousness of wrongdoing is the first step to salvation...you have to catch yourself doing it before you can correct it.

Nothing is more honorable than a grateful heart.

The whole discord of this world consists in discords.

We pray for trifles without so much as a thought of the greatest blessings; and we are not ashamed many times, to ask God for that which we should blush to own to our neighbor.

On entering a temple we assume all signs of reverence. How much more reverent then should we be before the heavenly bodies, the stars, the very nature of God!

If you are surprised at the number of our maladies, count our cooks.
